Christmas has many traditions dear to our hearts. Here is what tradition you would be, based on your College major!
1. Anthropology – Decorating
Why are we putting greenery inside of the house? Why is Christmas in December when we know Jesus was not born then? Why do we have Christmas at all? Anthropology majors will tell you while decorating the house as people have been doing for centuries.
2. Political Science – Getting the Family Together
A calm, level head and the ability to remember all of your family’s plans and problems is needed to organize who is going where when and bringing what for Christmas. Political Science majors have experience dealing with BS keeping everything straight from Bills being passed in congress and what exactly the rules for campaign finance are, so keeping their family members straight shouldn’t be too hard for them.
3. Theatre – Christmas Pageants
Theatre majors would take any advantage to be on stage, so the annual Christmas pageant is a good chance to show off everything they have learned as some of the most iconic roles of all time! Maybe save the tap-dancing for later, though.
4. Business – Buying Gifts
Business majors should be in charge of buying gifts. They are in the major that actually deals with money (I’m looking at you, Economics) and they should know how to spend responsibly. Everyone send your Christmas lists to them!
5. Math – Baking Cookies
If you live in my house, hundreds of cookies need to be mixed, baked, and frosted before Christmas can really happen. Only Math majors will be able to handle the sheer quantity of the number of cookies as they are approaching infinity. The limit does not exist.
6. Communications – Sending Christmas Cards
Communications is all about connections and talking to people. They won’t forget Great Aunt Sue or your second-cousin Gil’s son when sending out the cards of you all dressed in matching sweaters and Santa hats.
7. Physics – Snowball Fights
Physics majors will not at exactly what force and trajectory to throw the snowball so it hits their opponents at the optimum speed and placement. You can’t lose with a Physics major on your team (theoretically.)
8. Pre-Med – Food Comas
Picture this: December 26th, a decimated plate of leftovers in front of you, wrapping paper scraps scattered around you, pajamas squeezing you too tightly. Who do you want to take care of you? A Philosophy major who will want to talk about the intentions behind gift giving and what they say about society? Or do you want a Pre-Med major who probably has some Pepto. Your call.
9. Environmental Science – Getting the Tree
If you’re an Environmental Science major, you must love trees. At Christmas, you get to keep one INSIDE. It must be the best thing in the world for them. Enjoy your trees, Environmental Science majors.
10. Fashion – Getting Dressed Up
From your fancy dinner outfit to your ugliest Christmas sweater, Fashion majors have got it covered and can tell you if light up reindeer are “in” this Holiday season. They’ll roll up to any Holiday party looking fierce af and we’ll all be jealous and copy their style.
11. History – Telling Stories
From the birth of Jesus to the origin of Santa to all of the events in History where Christmas played a major role, History majors will have it covered and are in charge of all the funny family stories from over the years that they can only remember with their trained memory. Light a fire, pour the eggnog, and get ready to listen.
12. Music – Caroling
“Oh Christmas Tree” just sounds better in four-part harmony accompanied by a French Horn, what can I say? Music majors know the right tune and all the words to all your favorite Christmas songs and maybe even some you don’t know!
