All College Majors Are Created Equal

Let's put an end to the battle between the college majors.

With college classes beginning in less than a month, the (often) forced small talk between your family members and friends consists of the typical "so what kinds of classes are you taking?" So then of course the typical reply is something super specific like, "Oral Interpretation of Literature" which then warrants the response "huh?" from said family member/colleague. The same conversation is also common between your very own college friends, specifically those college friends who are majoring in something different then yours.

As a communication major myself, long story short, I am very familiar with how to prepare a speech and how the media influences life. On the other hand, some of my closest friends who are science majors are experts at whipping out a lab report two hours before it's due and have all the parts of the cell ingrained into their brain. Obviously, these subjects are extremely different when it comes to the material taught in class.

Although extremely different, both of these majors are just as difficult as the other.

I will reiterate this for the skimmers: All college majors are created equal.

I've often gotten into multiple arguments with my classmates about 'who's major is better.' It's time to halt the battle of the majors and appreciate each major for what it offers.

To the humanities majors: write your essays and keep killing those weekly presentations.

To the business majors: keep on top of those financial numbers and work hard on those fresh innovations.

To the natural science majors: the rest of us are trusting you to know how to replace our knees when the time comes and mix all those things together to create awesome things.

To the mathematics majors: may God be with you.

To the art majors: thank you for providing us with wall decorations and for taking our graduation pictures.

At the end of the day, we are all college students and we can all relate to the struggle of procrastination and the seemingly unending amount of homework. So rock on into the bright future that's patiently waiting for each and every one of you.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
