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!).

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
