Went to a stem focused college and they used to call geology classes 'Rocks for Jocks' because many of the athelets would end up in those classes.

Yes, this was me, hello (in an adjacent dept but we share the same grad student room). I used to climb, like 200 outdoor single and multi-pitch sends/year a lot. My mountaineering group was filled with geoscientists. I got injured though during some apt renovations and can't do little ledges anymore (maybe in the future, I still got hope). Now I meme about rocks. Rocks truly do rock.

Crazy, I'm a geologist and that has not been my experience at all. Nerds as far as the eye can see in both undergrad and grad school.
