Weirdly enough, I always associate physics with much more physical (badum tss) reactions. In all reality, I think it stems solely from a vine that was popular before the death of the app that featured a high schooler showing her physics teacher shooting off what looked like a rocket in the classroom. That, followed by endless online compilations of teachers and professors showing a plethora of crazy things tends to give me a more exciting view of physics than what it actually is. There is a severe lack of Newton's cradles and electrical reactions, and instead, a lot more math and graphing. I understand that pulling the most interesting bits of a topic is what garners interest, but in alll my experience with physics, it more so feels like false advertising: like being told you're going to a waterpark and arriving to see a pitiful slip n' slide. I can't entirely say I'm sure what classifies as physics, as like I said before, my exposure has been so incredibly broad that it feels impossible to pinpoint the boxes that need to be checked for something to fall into that category. To make an overly long blog-post short, 'physics' makes me think of fun science-y stuff, but also leaves me both confused and disappointed by the reality of it.
