12 Signs You're A Speech Pathology Major

As you read this article you are either a Speech Pathology major or you know someone who is. Here are 12 signs that you are a speech pathology major.

1. You think of it to be normal to almost gag yourself as you repeat the sounds /k/ and /g/. These aren't the only sounds you produce aloud because it's become natural to produce all sounds out loud.


2. As an speech pathologist, we are detectives and great with puzzles. We put all the pieces together. If you think we do just one thing, you're wrong. We do it ALL!

3. This was your reaction to the girl who decided to get surgery for vocal nodules instead of having therapy in "Pitch Perfect."

4. Since it's almost Christmas break, I felt like this was the perfect gif. This is how you feel after a semester of all the projects, tests, lectures, constant library time, constant late night studying, and more.

5. This is the reaction when you're cramming for a test and when you're RTM (reading the manual) for a patient. Standardized tests just have so much information to cram into our little brains that have so much information in them already!

6. When an underclassman comes up to you and asks you a question that you know the answer to, you feel like you can go on a rant about the knowledge of all the things you've learned. You feel so accomplished and superior!

7. I want to write an email to Microsoft and tell them that "stimulability" is an actual word.

8. After years of classes, you catch yourself listening to your friends and family talking and imitating the way they talk. Sometimes you even correct them out of habit. (Sorry family. I still love you.)

9. When someone asks you what your major is and you say "Speech Pathology" and they have no clue what that is so you have to say, "Speech therapist".

10. Your friends and family might accuse you of being a grammar nazi. Sorry that my professors taught me to be awesome!

11. I feel you Cory Matthews, I feel you.

12. We've all had emotional breakdowns from pure stress, but we're a family and we get through it together.

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.

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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.
