The past couple of days I have been looking at my twitter feed, and I noticed that almost every other tweet is a continuation of the STEM vs. Liberal Art major beef.

I am a STEM major, but I know that my fellow classmates work just as hard in their non-STEM disciplines as I do.

Let's stop trying to make one seem better than the other.

In the world, there are going to be different paths each person takes.

I personally was told in my high school English classes that I was a terrible writer, so I crossed an English major off the list pretty quickly. I was then told that I was bad at the clarinet by my high school band director, crossed any time of music off the list.

I took Chemistry in high school, waiting yet again for a teacher to tell me that I was terrible at what I do.

But instead, I became intrigued by the idea of Chemical Engineering.

That intrigue grew into a passion because of my engineering teacher, and now here I am.

I don't walk around campus with the idea that anyone who isn't an engineer is just submitting color pages, and I don't think that I am above anyone in terms of intelligence.

Different majors align with different goals and passions, I personally want to work with helping the fuel crisis, or bringing clean water to people in third world countries.

Others may want to help young students find their passion, to excite readers with a new bestseller, to help someone to grow a business.

The major you choose doesn't define your worth.

I know in today's world we are looking more and more towards new technology and the bigger issues of society.

I know that when a high schooler says they want to go into English, a family member's first response is, "Well what are you going to do with that?"

Honestly, with an English degree, the leaps and bounds you can make are remarkable.

You are able to walk through doors that you make for yourself, and not be forced to stay on just one path.

For those of you looking to become a liberal arts major, I'm going to leave you with advice that my Latin teacher told me my junior year of high school.

Majoring in the classics is more than just being able to read Latin, it shows that you have an understanding of a language that fits together like a puzzle. That understanding allows classics majors, to shift into scientific programming, and other disciplines that most think are just disconnected from 'the classics".

So all in all, don't let the outside world affect what you choose to do with your life.

You WILL be successful if you follow your passions.

If you do something simply because you think it's what society wants you to do, you aren't going to be happy with what you are doing.
