College students have a lot of stress and struggles during their 4 or more years in school but we continue to push ourselves to get that degree and walk across the stage with pride.
One of the main things keeping us together are our majors, the degree we spent 2 years completing all the prerequisites only to finally get in the classes that focuses solely on our major.
Along with that comes some things you also hate about your major. I can relate as an Asian Studies Major there are plenty of things I love and equally dislike about it but in the end, I wouldn't trade my major for anything.
There are good and bad things about each and every one of our majors so I gathered some friends and asked them to tell me about their specific majors.
Graphic Communications Major
Likes: Hands on, creative control, broad and various, so you can work multiple fields with this degree, pushes you to your limit, and therapeutic.
Dislikes: Each art professor has a different opinion, no matter how good you are. Time consuming, tedious at times, can be expensive.
Business Major
Likes: Networking, working with different people & teams.
Dislikes: Taking classes that doesn't directly apply to my specific major like accounting.
Electrical engineering Major
Likes: Major classes, loves the engineering major, and how hands on the work is.
DIslikes: Unnecessary prerequisites to insure that I am actually capable of doing upper level classes, the weed out process to keep the best of the best in the school and stress others out of the major.
Art Major
Likes: it absolutely pertains to my skills, and helps me strive to get better at my art. It also has classes that doesn't make you fall asleep.
Dislikes: Some art professors tend to be a bit of a total perfectionist. And in my opinion this can be a bit stressful for students.
Nursing Major
Likes: Anatomy and Psychology classes, knowing that this program is geared to help people, hands on action, and the people skills you gain.
Dislike: The competitiveness to get into the nursing program, you can get in with just over a 3.0 but because so many people are fighting to get in only those with 3.8 gpa and higher usually get picked, not accepting people because of their lack of academic skills.
Sociology Major
Likes: Good professors who are truly nice and helpful and the type of people you can go to for help and they will work with. Lots of interesting topics and enlightening discussions in classes.
Dislikes: Lots of heavy reading material/texts with the papers due on the same or next day, the articles are interesting but can get overwhelming when you have other classes, at times can be too demanding on students.
