10 Signs You're An Education Major
nationofchange.org

Education majors are unlike any other students on campus. They spend hours writing a 30-minute lesson plan, they spend hours outside of class going to fieldwork, and they actually enjoy going to class (most of the time). They have heard the same phrase countless times: "I wish I got to read children's books for homework". But, just because we may be making fun craft projects, or reading children's books, that doesn't mean our major is any easier than yours. If anything, education majors know how hard it can be sometimes, but in the end, it's worth it. All of those lesson plans, reflections, and art projects are worth it. Here are 10 signs you're an education major:

1. You have two wardrobes- one for class and one for fieldwork.

Your collection of ballet flats and cardigans just keeps on growing.

2. You understand that a 10-page lesson plan usually ends up taking a half hour.

The most frustrating thing ever. Something that took hours to write and perfect only took a half hour.

3. Pinterest is your best friend.

I have a board for my classroom, my bulletin boards, and my lesson plan ideas. I'm not even a teacher yet.


4. You save all of your education textbooks.

When you have your own classroom, you know those will come in handy.

5. You're super organized.

From color coordinated binders and notebooks, all the way to your label maker, education students are some of the most organized people.

6. You understand the struggle of methods classes.

And even more so, you understand the struggle of having to go over the lesson plan format over and over in every methods course.

7. You saved all of your books from when you were little for your future library.

From Biscuit, to Dr. Suess, to Cam Jansen, and of course Junie B. Jones, you've got them all.

8. You get really excited about the first day of school.

I swear it's like a holiday.

9. Early classes don't bother you.

Especially if you're going to fieldwork. Seeing the kids makes you ten times more awake and cheerful.

10. You can't imagine not being a teacher.

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.
