As summer comes to a close, I have been eating A LOT of ice cream lately. I have also been thinking a lot about going back to college and all of my friends and their studies. While I was thinking, I realized that college majors are actually a lot like ice cream in a way. So I made a list that matches college majors to the ice cream flavor that best fits the major.
1. Business.
French Vanilla. French Vanilla is a little more fancy than vanilla but is still pretty basic. It can be dressed up with good toppings though! Business, too, is kind of basic, but can easily be transformed with minors and concentrations.
2. Math.
Chocolate. With math and with chocolate, you either love it or hate it. There's no in between.
3. Engineering.
Avocado. It's gross and boring to most, but the people who do enjoy it, love it with an extreme passion.
4. Liberal Studies.
Cotton Candy. Cotton Candy is so sweet, just like every liberal studies major I've ever met.
5. Communication Studies.
Vanilla. Though not much different than french vanilla, it is a little more basic. Comm Studies is basic but can be dressed up with different minors and concentration. I think that Comm Studies is one of those majors where a concentration can COMPLETELY change the type of work the person pursuing that degree will get. Vanilla is also pretty basic, but it can be drastically changed with different toppings.
6. Communication Sciences/Speech Sciences.
Rocky Road. Communication sciences/speech sciences majors have to do a little bit of everything. They have science, SpEd, and math. It is a combination of many things. Rocky road ice cream is just as complex with its many flavors that each pack a punch.
7. Special Education.
Birthday Cake. Working with SpEd kids takes a very unique type of person. They have to be fun, compassionate, understanding, and patient. Birthday cake is a very fun flavor that really represents Special Education majors.
8. History.
Fudge Ripple. History is kind of plain, but has an exciting streak, just like fudge ripple ice cream.
9. Athletic Training.
Nutella. Nutella was such a fad. It was such a wave at one point, but now you never hear of it. Athletic Training was the same way.
10. Sociology.
Lemon. Sociology is the study of human interaction, and humans can be quite rude and sour.
11. Political Science.
Peanut Butter. Peanut Butter ice cream has a strong flavor just how political science majors usually have really strong political opinions.
12. Anthropology.
Pistachio. Anthropology majors are rare just like pistachio ice cream!
13. Biology.
Butter Pecan. It's a smooth flavor that is ideal for everybody, but the crunch of the pecan just isn't for everybody. Biology is something a lot of people choose because it seems ideal, but its harder than most people would imagine.
14. Physics.
Cherry. Physics and cherry ice cream are both like cherry medicine. Terrible.
15. Computer Science.
Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough. The pieces of chocolate chip add a bit of hardness to the ice cream. Computer Science is kind of hard too, but totally worth it!
16. Chemistry.
Coffee. Not everything is as good as you thought it would be. Coffee ice cream really doesn't taste that much like coffee. Majoring in Chemistry isn't as fun as you thought it would be when you were in some of your first chemistry classes.
17. Criminal Justice.
Lavender. Do people actually like it? Is it just a trend? The answer to both of these questions is debatable for lavender ice cream and criminal justice majors.
18. English.
Cookies and Cream. Cookies and Cream and majoring in English are both kind of *basic* but SO enjoyable!
19. Theater.
Moose Tracks. The dramatic flavor of moose tracks really reflects the spirit that is theater.
20. Art/Graphic Design.
Salted caramel. Art and Graphic Design majors tend to like things that are aesthetically pleasing. There's nothing more pleasing that a bowl of salted caramel ice cream that is scooped perfectly.
21. Accounting.
Strawberry. I have only met a handful of people that enjoy accounting. Oddly enough, I have only met a handful of people who genuinely enjoy strawberry ice cream.
22. Nursing.
Mint Chocolate Chip. Nursing is very fulfilling, just like mint chocolate chip ice cream.
23. Undeclared.
Neapolitan. There's a different flavor for everybody. So if you can't decide, just dip in and pick one.
In the end, any ice cream flavor is good ice cream. College majors are good college majors. Enjoy the rest of the summer by enjoying your major's ice cream flavor!
