Hey there /sci/.
I'm an undergraduate who was allowed to pursue my own project in behavioral neuroscience but I've decided I don't think it justified the amount of animals I have to use. I had a very good relationship with this professor for over a year and now haven't talked to her for an entire semester after working in the lab on what would be my thesis over the summer. I hate doing this research because behavioral animal experiments are boring and sad but I know I'm throwing away a big oppurtunity. I'm also not sure if I want to go to grad school anymore. I think I should at least tell the professor I'm not interested anymore but I've been in this lab for over a year, learned a lot, and feel bad for throwing this away. I'm really just panicking and dealt with a lot of personal issues over the past few months but at the root of it I'm really just lazy.

If anyone has any advice that'd be great.
