7 College Majors, As The Delicious Holiday Desserts They'll Tuck Into Over The Holiday Breaks

Just like these majors, holiday desserts also vary and offer guests various things to enjoy after a meal.

Every college major is different and entails different things. Just like these majors, holiday desserts also vary and offer guests various things to enjoy after a meal. I think it is time for us to see how both these majors and desserts shape up to one another.

1. Business: pumpkin pie

Pumpkin pie is one of the most popular holiday desserts. There is a slim-to-none chance that you will be missing it from your delicious holiday feast, which is just a staple item for the season. The same thing goes for business majors. It is pretty hard to be in a room without at least five business majors MINIMUM. I know I cannot live without my holiday pumpkin pie, and apparently also have no choice but to not be able to live without a business major within twenty feet of me at all times.

2. Engineering: fruitcake

Fruitcake is a holiday dessert that most people seem to hate and very few people seem to love. It takes a very special person to be able to say they actually enjoy eating fruitcake, just like engineering. Engineers are capable of creating a quick fix for so many different problems, which very few people seem to be able to do. Engineering is underappreciated, and by the number of people that despise it, apparently, fruitcake is too.

3. Music: sugar cookies

While on the surface sugar cookies seem to be plain and simple, there is so much that you can do with them. There is an infinite number of ways to decorate these bad boys, and music is no different. On the surface, people seem to think music is just music. In reality, though, there are so many different and unique things that can come from music that people do not even realize. You must get creative with sugar cookies to create something special and unique, just like music majors do.

4. Math: lemon meringue pie

Lemons are something you must have an acquired taste for, it is hard to like them right off the bat when they are as sour as they are. For some, it is hard to believe that some people actually enjoy the taste of lemons. Similarly, for some, it is hard to believe that some people actually enjoy doing math. Math majors are the lemon meringue pie of the holiday dessert world. They seem to exist at every holiday dinner, yet most people really do not know why. While we may not understand you, we all still appreciate that you're here.

5. English: bundt cake

Bundt cakes are something that looks completely boring at first. Merely looking on the surface, it seems to be just inches and inches of a basic cake. Yet, there are so many different unique possibilities if you actually take the time to see what is beneath the surface.

6. Political science: cornbread

Some people seem to think there is such thing as both sweet and savory cornbread. Is it a dessert? Is it part of the actual meal? No one really seems to have the exact same answer to these questions (even though I definitely do not think that it is a dessert). Political science is pretty similar. There are so many different things involved in politics that it is difficult to get a straight answer. The same goes with the actual majors themselves, are they bitter? Are they sweet? Who knows.

7. Communications: pecan pie

Communicating with people is a pretty important thing in today's world. With conversations or interviews, you could really end up in a sticky situation depending on the person and what you say. Pecan pie is a fairly sticky dessert and can get messy is not handled the right way, just like communications.

* * *

Overall, every college major is different and perceived in various ways by various people. This is my rendition of college majors as holiday desserts, but are of course always subject to change.

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.

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
