Being an accounting major is something you just have to be able to do. It can be incredibly tedious and painful and hard, but you definitely weren't born to be an engineer or a doctor; you were born to 'crunch' numbers one day. You might get annoyed with debits, credits, trial balances, adjusting entries and double underlines, but you love what you do. (even the completely irrelevant classes).
1. You get so tired of hearing the words "debit" and "credit."
2. When people ask you what your major is and then when you tell them, they make this face.
3. You only shop sales.
I don't know when I became so frugal, but I don't mind.
4. Economics just will never make as much sense as accounting does.
And what is supply and demand anyway?
5. You look forward to classes like management and marketing.
6. When you finally find your small $0.05 mistake in your books.
7. You love it, yet it's so tedious at the same time, and it makes no sense to you why.
8. When people say your major is "easy."
9. You know Microsoft Excel front and back.
And if you need me to make a spreadsheet with Table Style Light 11 with a PivotTable and Conditional Formatting, I can do it without blinking.
10. You write so many few essays sometime you forget basic English.
I still don't know the difference between MLA, APA and Chicago Style.
11. You do things just to be "resume builders."
12. When you see upperclassmen wearing suits and dresses to class and you already accept your fate.
I really hope when I'm in graduate school I'm not as lazy.
13. You're already planning your future internships.
14. Accounting jokes are way too corny and hilarious. (check out my favorites)
Two, 4,6,8—who do we depreciate?!
15. People think you're better at math than you actually are.
Honestly, it's just addition and subtraction.
16. You wonder why you have to do everything by hand, when computers are a thing too.
17. You're not 100 percent sure what you want to do when you graduate, but you know you'll always have options.
18. You literally dream about the accounting equation.
19. When finance majors think we're the same thing.
20. Your face when debits and credits equal each other.
21. And when they don't.
