"The purpose of anthropology is to make the world safe for human differences."
Ruth Benedict

Honestly, no matter how many struggles you go through as an Anth major, you know it's totally worth it. You may not be part of the Business School, but that's because you're absolutely certain this is the education for you!

If you've bravely chosen this extravagant lifestyle, you've probably experienced most of the things on this list. And if you haven't? Don't worry, you will.

1. You honestly had no idea what Anthropology actually was until you took Intro.

2. Getting that dreaded response: "Wow, what a mouthful--what is it?"

3. Basically giving up all hope on explaining it to others and instead answering with: "I study people."

4. If anyone mentions Indiana Jones you instantly feel the need to defend your chosen study by reminding them that, no, you don't just run around in fedoras looking for crystal skulls.

5. It also isn't "what Ross does" on Friends.

6. People often confuse your major for Sociology, which is totally different!

7. At some point in your college career you will find yourself wondering why you didn't just study Business like all your friends.

8. But then you remember that, while your friends are taking macroeconomics, you get to play with an actual human skull.

9. People often doubt that you'll find a career that suits your major, but you know that there are so many jobs in the world that you'd be perfect for. And, yes, it will be a "real" career!

10. Just wanting to graduate already because of all the things that are waiting to be discovered by you.
