12 Things That All Double Majors Understand

Being a double major has its pros and cons. On the one hand, you become more of a well rounded student because you are focusing on two different academic disciplines, but on the other hand, you are driving yourself insane by having to do so much more work than your single-major friends. There are things that only double majors understand, and here are 12 of those things that all double majors understand:

1. Your biggest problem is that your advisors get jealous of each other all the time.

2. You when your single-major friends say that they have a ton of homework:

3. When someone asks you what your major is, you almost feel ashamed to tell them that you are a double major because you don't want people to think that this is what you are actually saying:

4. This is you every night from Sunday–Thursday:

5. This is you from Friday–Saturday:

6. There are weeks where you barely have any homework...

7. ...But then there are weeks where you have an exam (and/or quiz), a paper and other assignments for each class. This is you on these weeks:

8. If you are a double major at a liberal arts college, then you aren't a double major. You are, however, a triple major because the number of core classes that you have to take basically add up to the amount of courses you'd have to take for any given major.

9. But being a double major is very rewarding because you become a more well rounded student.

10. It also will help you stand out in a professional (or graduate) school and/or job application pool.

11. You are never able to finish every reading assignment, so Sparknotes and GradeSaver are your best friends.

12. But you could never go back to being a single major because you could never get used to the single-major life ever again.

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.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
