1. "Your major must be so easy."
Easy? Easy? If it's so easy why isn't it YOUR major? You try doing learning AP Style and Comm Research Methods! It's no walk on the beach. Plus, you have Mass Media Comm, Org Comm, and PR. Three separate majors tossed together under one name. Basically a dysfunctional family.
2. "So do you just sit on social media all class?"
Uh, no. Communications classes are just like any other class. Notes, lectures, the occasional meme side conversation.
3. "You must be really good at talking to people."
Aha. Ha... ha... AHAHAHAHA. NO.
4. "So do you want to work in news or something?"
Yeah, no. It would probably end up like this. But I wouldn't mind a job on Comedy Central.
5. "Do you get graded on social media?"
I was actually asked this once. But oh, honey, I wish.
6. "So basically you're learning how to talk to people."
7. "Can you write my papers for me?"
I don't even want to do my own papers half the time. I have to do 20 this semester alone. What makes you think I wanna do your papers too?
8. "You must be good with social media."
9. "You must be great at working in groups.
When they actually function correctly - which is never. Why? Because everyone else is a Comm or PR or Org Comm. Plot-twist none of you have time to meet, ever.
10. "What kind of job do you want with that?"
A paying one.
