College Major Stereotypes

Let's be real with ourselves.

College Major Stereotypes

We're all taught not to stereotype, but you've got to admit, some people truly fit their major.

Business major:

The smooth talkers of the world. You’re a people person when you’re in the world of business. What's the cost-benefit analysis of making a trip to the packie and drinking on a day that ends in Y?

English Major:

"You want to be a teacher?" English majors are thoughtful and completely ordinary students, but some can be the “starving writer” type that sits in coffee shops, unshaven, with messy hair and eyes that clearly need some rest. They’re basically zombies with a pencil that absolutely swear they have a story in their head and that they’ll write something, but never do.

Science Majors:

You’re a nerd. Straight up. You wear glasses or speak really fast when talking about the cell cycle or while you’ve had one too many drinks.



Engineers:

They think their major is better than yours. They’re learning how to build spaceships while you write an essay response about a movie you watched in class. A movie you didn’t pay attention to because you were too busy on SnapChat.

Psychology:

Mind readers and mental analysts.You think they are listening, but they are really analyzing your life.

Nursing:

Your college career can be summed up in one word: stress. Nursing school is HARD. You don’t get enough respect, and this bothers you most when you’re driving to clinical at four in the morning.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

Students walking on a sunny college campus with trees and buildings.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.
