During our journey throughout college, it's inevitable to meet new people. This isn't just because we're surrounded by more people, but because of the social atmosphere many colleges tend to have. After the first couple weeks of college where you're constantly busy with meet-and-greet events, preparing for your classes, and seemingly never-ending introductions, it's easy to notice the huge diversity in the the student population. Not surprisingly, it's very common when meeting new people to ask what their major is. After going through countless introductions, it's easy to see a trend between individual's personalities and their major. Here are a couple of majors and their respective stereotypes.
Biology Majors
Some defining characteristics of the bio major may include having bags under the eyes from studying all night, big shoulders from carrying their gigantic textbooks all the time, and an RBF. Typically, bio majors will complain about how difficult their classes are, how how much they dread organic chemistry, or how their lab partner doesn't do their fair share of the work. When meeting a bio major for the first time, don't be surprised if they come off as passive aggressive and annoyed, since you're probably distracting them from their studies.
Engineering Majors
Similarly to the bio major, engineering majors will definitely, especially around mid semester, have dark circles under their eyes. They're always busy, either participating in clubs or coming back from their 9 P.M. lab they stayed up all night to prepare for. Since they're constantly busy, everybody knows and likes them, respecting the fact engineers give up much of their time for their work. Although not often, engineers will eventually find time in their schedule to spend with those in their inner circle. If you're friends with an engineer and you hang out with them often, then they cherish you. Be appreciative.
Social Science Majors
Being the most social of the bunch, social science majors are typically the most chill compared to the other majors. These students are the most likely to become active on the school board, join a sorority or fraternity, and use recreational drugs a consistent, but safe, amount weekly. You will rarely hear them speak of school, since they can't seem to stop talking about the party or concert they went to last weekend. However, once finals roll around, they tend to stop their typical behaviors a day or two before each final. As a friend of mine who is a social science major once stated, "C's get degrees."
