As a political science major, you're probably constantly questioning why you're spending thousands of dollars and 4-7 years of your life in school, when all you need to know about the matter is shared throughout your news feed. Sometimes you come to the realization that you love being knowledgeable in all spheres of politics, government and law, and you're getting really good at leaving witty, passive-aggressive comments. There are few things more annoying than the ten things below.
1. "I don't vote, because it doesn't matter."
If you're a political science major, then you were probably counting down the days until you turned 18, because there truly is nothing more exciting than being enfranchised.
2. Listening to your friends talk about politics at parties makes you feel like you're playing leapfrog with a unicorn.
3. Going on any social networking website makes you regret being born.
Few things are worse than going on Facebook, and seeing your friends and family sharing articles and fabricated news stories that are from completely unreliable sources.
Sarcasm, as well as the unfollow option on Facebook, are for those very special, very politically-inept people in your life. Frankly, if there's one thing that political science majors know all too well, then it's that it's one thing to be apathetic and ignorant of what's going on in the world, but it's so much worse to be outspoken on your uneducated and misinformed (or completely uninformed) opinions.
4. "Oh, you're a political science major? What are you going to do with that?"
5. That outspoken criminal justice major in your political science class basically forces you to consider bringing alcohol.
There's always that one non-political science student in your class, who loves to talk, but has absolutely the faintest idea of what they're talking about. Someone needs to inform them that they're a criminal justice major; not a political science major.
6. Your friends act like meeting a politician is boring and "no big deal."
... Meanwhile, you're starstruck, because you basically just met a celebrity.
7. When anyone says that they "weren't interested" in West Wing or House of Cards....
8. When your uninformed friends or relatives think your opinions are invalid.
9. When no one understands your perfectly hysterical political satire...
