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.

3. Comedy

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.

4. Professional Nannying

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!

8. Entertainment Engineering and Design


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

Ever been curious about your neighbors up north? Well, you can learn anything and everything about them at Duke University, Johns Hopkins University, SUNY Plattsburgh or University of Vermont. Learn about the history and culture of Canada.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
