Jacob discusses majors, courses, and student events he's looking forward to come spring term.


Spring term is only weeks away! I registered for classes this week and I’m so excited for next term. Additionally, I decided my major (almost certainly) earlier this term and cannot wait to officially become a physics major!

In following the physics sequence, I will be taking Electricity and Magnetism next term. I have heard that it is a hard class, but I look forward to learning more physics. I will also be taking data structures, a computer science course. I hope to become better at coding, which will help me as I continue studying physics. In addition to these two courses, I still need to decide on a third class to take. There are too many good choices!

While I am excited for my classes, I am more excited for other parts of spring term. Ultimate, warm weather, barbecues, Spring Concert, and Rotblatt await!


Jacob is a potential physics, math, and/or geology major (he’s indecisive) who appreciates the occasional anthropology or English class. Growing up in Milwaukee, Wisconsin has made it easy for Jacob to adapt to the Northfield winters, during which he likes to ski and go traying. In more agreeable weather Jacob enjoys going on outings with CANOE, the outdoors club, and playing Ultimate Frisbee on the Gods of Plastic, Carleton’s DIII men’s ultimate team.
