It's fair to say that all college majors are home to different groups of people, especially personality wise, and like many of those personality quizzes, I thought it would be fun to create a list of dog breeds that embody certain majors because who doesn't love dogs? Here's what kind of dog you are based on these 8 majors!

1. Child & Family Development

Child and family development majors are like golden retrievers, and like golden retrievers, they are kind, friendly, confident, trustworthy, devoted, and intelligent! Golden retrievers are excellent with family and kids and I'm going to go ahead and assume a lot of those majors enjoy family and children as well right?

2. Communications

As a communications major myself, we have a stereotype of "just talking" or being the "easy" major, when we are so much more than that, which is why I chose the husky to represent it. Huskies are chatty dogs, but they also are very intelligent, outgoing, friendly, and playful. Communications majors aren't always verbally talkative, but we do like to write which I consider in a way is talking! We have to be fairly skilled in networking which requires being outgoing and friendly. I think the husky is the perfect embodiment of the communications major.

3. Criminal Justice

What better breed to represent the criminal justice major than the German shepherd? People that go into this field I assume take the law incredibly seriously (as we all should), and are very obedient. You also have to be courageous, alert, confident, and watchful to deal with criminals and the criminal justice system, and those are the exact same qualities found in a shepherd! It makes complete sense why they were chosen as for the job!

4. Engineering

Engineering is a huge major! You have to be super smart and super skilled at math. It's a major that requires a lot of work which is why people in this major are a lot like border collies! Border collies are smart, energetic workaholics who are always alert and responsive. They pay attention to details, and when working with machinery, you gotta be able to see everything!

5. Theater


Theater majors are very playful and creative. They have a wild imagination which is amazing! Dalmatians are very playful as well, but can also have a sensitive side; a necessity for acting! They're energetic and intelligent, which makes them perfect for theater in my book.

6. Business


Labrador Retrievers just shout business to me. They are trusting, intelligent, agile, even-tempered, and outgoing; all qualities of a successful businessperson.

7. Nursing

Nurses are what keep hospitals running, and with such a huge job, this major is represented by an equally huge breed. The Saint Bernard is a calm, gentle giant. Originally bred for rescuing people in harsh, winter conditions, they are also known as the "nanny" dog (Peter Pan anyone?). They are watchful, patient, as well as super friendly: All stellar qualities in a future nurse!

8. Science

Scientists are very curious, as they should be, and determined. Beagles are a very curious and determined breed as well, and get excited over new discoveries! The Beagle is the perfect science dog (but no pets in the lab!).

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.
