As a communications major, I always get asked the same questions about my major. People think that communications majors are not smart, lazy, and didn't know what else to major in, so they just chose communications. Wrong. Communications majors are some of the hardest working people out there. We are masters of multitasking. Our degree itself is like a multitasking mixture of public speaking, writing, marketing, business, media studies, and even health communication studies. We learn it all. So when we get ask these five basic questions, we cringe.

1. Do you ever have homework?

Yes actually. We always have homework. Our papers usually hang over our heads until a week before and then we hunker down and get it done. Our average nights are probably something like we probably wrote half of a 10 page paper and had to find some article about something in the media and then read a research paper. By the fifth or sixth time we hear this, we probably just say "No, I don't have any homework, ever."

2. What can you even do with a communication degree?

Everything. Absolutely anything we want, not really, but almost. We can do anything that requires marketing, advertising, public relations, social media, writing press releases, and so much more. There are endless possibilities for someone with a communications degree.

3. Why are you always on social media? That won't get you anywhere.

Actually, yes it will. You can have a job doing just social media today. So it actually is getting me somewhere. We can connect with anyone, anywhere. How are you not on it 24/7?

4. Why are you always so tired?

Well, as a communications major we are pretty much programmed to stay up till two a.m. checking emails, social media, and watching a movie or TV show. After two or three cups of coffee you wouldn't even know I was tired anymore anyways.

5. Why are you so obsessed with your major?

Because it’s the best. Period. We have a bond with other communications majors because we all share the same passion.
