12 Things Only Social Work Majors Understand
Huffington Post

We all know one of them. They're kind, overly generous, sometimes a little too right about everything. If you have a Social Worker in your life, or someone who is currently studying Social Work, then you are a lucky soul. These are the guys who have a passion for people, and that includes you.

1. In all of your Social Work classes, you come out feeling a sense of accomplishment after a good conversation with other Social work majors.


2. Or you just feel sad because you’ve realized there are so many good things to do and you’re just one person.


3. You’re usually the one your friends go to if they want good, solid advice.



4. Because they know you’ll always give them the truth, as well as a plan of action.


5. And you’re always calm under pressure.


6. If someone has a difference of opinion, you’re really good at hearing them out.


7. But you’re even better at keeping your own opinions to yourself.


8. People are constantly asking you to do things because they know you won’t say no.

9. And also because they know you won’t do anything without doing it right.


10. The phrase “the shirt off my back” is not really that ridiculous to you, because you’ve probably actually given someone the shirt off of your back.


11. You’re always the one choking back tears at the semi-emotional ‘In the arms of the angels’ commercials.


12. You love people. Even when you hate them, you love them.

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.
