So as a Communications major, suffice to say my major can get a little boring. With a lot of broad classes focused on how to effectively communicate with society, my only really interesting classes are my electives. For those of you who are also struggling with the Communications major blues, or anything of the like, check out these fun majors that you could totally change to if you're looking for something a little more...... interesting.

1. Auctioneering

Offered at Harrisburg Area Community College, this major is exactly what it sounds like- your chance to learn how to become an auctioneer. In addition to learning the language and speed of the auctioneer's speech, you also learn about the pricing and appeasing of different items.

2. Bowling Industry Management and Technology

Who knew bowling required a college degree? At Vincennes University, you'll learn all the that goes into the wonders of bowling. Classes include, “Lane and Pinsetter Maintenance,” “Pro Shop Operations and Essentials," to name a few.

For those of you with a funny bone, Emerson College may be just the place to transfer to! In it's early stages, the four-year Comedic Arts program include the history of comedy all the way up to how to perfect current comedic sketches.

Sullivan University offers this kid-friendly course. In addition to learning the essentials, such as CPR and basic First Aid, students will learn how to entertain different age groups. This program turns babysitters into professionals!

What better place to learn about the entertainment industry than Sin City? University of Nevada Las Vegas teaches how to participate in the business side of casinos, and also how to design gambling games that stump people.

9. Canadian Studies

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
