3 Reasons to Stop Major Shaming

Every Major is What You Make of It

3 Reasons to Stop Major Shaming
Marlee Hune

1) Every Major is Different


Each major requires its own type of work, studying, and basic skills. While some majors focus more on projects and papers, others focus more on tests and quizzes. Regardless of what type of work your major requires, nothing is "easy". For example, I would find it extremely hard to complete the projects required to be an art major, and I'm sure someone who is an art major would be just as confused by my excel spreadsheets.

2) You Get What You Give


Every major is what you put into it. If you are not willing to put in all of your effort and devote time to studying and getting work done, no matter what your major is, you will have a very difficult time. Switching to an "easier" major because you can't pass a class will not fix your problem if you do not have a good work ethic. If you put in the time and effort, good things will come from it.

3) Interest and Passion are Everything


At the end of the day you have to have a passion behind what you are doing. If you are not at all interested in your major, you will not have the drive necessary to get through school. If you have no passion or plan behind what you are going to school for, it can be hard to stay motivated and remember why you're pursuing your degree. At the end of the day, college is not easy breezy for anyone and we are all here to get a degree.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
