18 Struggles Anderson University Communication Majors Will Understand
Anderson University

Just like all majors, a communication major comes with its own set of unique struggles, from video equipment woes to less-than-ideal classroom placement. Here are 18 struggles all AU comm majors will understand.

P.S. Shout out to my fellow comm major friends for helping me out with this. Ya'll are the best.

1. When all your classes are in Watkins basement


2. Or for some reason, on the 3rd floor of Merritt so you gotta hike up the stairs


3. When you need a certain class to graduate and there’s only one section offered with like 2 seats left


4. When you have to lug your video equipment around campus


5. When your video is finally filmed and you realize the mic died halfway through and you have no audio


6. When someone asks how long you spent in the media lab editing

7.When Adobe Premiere Pro turns on you


8. When Web Design makes zero sense but you're trying to stay calm


9. When someone asks what you're gonna do with your major since "it's so broad"

10. When you're a senior but the definition of PR is still elusive

11. When your non-comm major friends always ask you to revise their papers

12. When you struggle to form a coherent sentence and seriously question what you are doing with your life


13. When you constantly analyze social interactions based on interpersonal and communication theories


14. When you hate drama but realize your entire career is crisis management


15. When you have to learn about pathos, logos, and ethos again

16. When you gotta look something up in the AP stylebook and it turns into an awful scavenger hunt

17. When you have to give a speech in Rhetoric


18. When someone tries to say your major is "easy"

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.
