Here it is, folks. As college students, we know we fall into certain stigmas by our parents, extended families, friends, co-workers, basically anyone whom you tell about your major. So what does your major say about your television preferences? Or what TV show best represents your area of study? This definitive list of common college majors as popular television will give you (and others) a little insight into what makes each major tick.

Political Science: "House of Cards"

Because we know you can't resist this ruthless political drama that you wish (or maybe not) your life was like.

English: "Sherlock"

No English enthusiast can resist this classic, even in TV form.

Math: "Numbers"

An oldie but goodie. Plus, there are very few good shows about math.

Communication Studies: "Criminal Minds"

Criminal Minds

It's all about how you communicate.

Psychology: "Shameless"

What psych major wouldn't jump at the chance to psychoanalyze this crazy cast of characters?

Sociology: "Brooklyn Nine Nine"

Their interactions with each other are priceless.

Engineering: "The Big Bang Theory"

The Big Bang Theory

You can hate me for it if you want, but Howard needs some attention for his accomplishments, too.

Parks and Recreation Management: "Parks and Recreation"

I think this one speaks for itself.

Pre-med: "Grey's Anatomy"

Again, no explanation necessary.

Theatre performance: "Portlandia"

Portlandia

The eccentric "Portlandia" appeals to the more creative mind.

Anthropology: "Bones"

Duh!

Education: "New Girl"

Jessica Day is the best teacher.

Environmental Science: "Survivorman"

Survivorman

A true environmentalist, Les Stroud is all alone out in the wilderness for weeks, showing what it's really like.

History: "Outlander"

No show has made history quite so interesting...or attractive.

Nursing: "House"

House

Even though House hates everyone, including nurses, he wouldn't be able to do his job without them.

Musical Performance: "Nashville"

Nashville

What all music majors aspire to be as popular as.

Food Science: "Bob's Burgers"

Foodies need a little, lighthearted humor, too.

Biology: "The Walking Dead"

Because Biology majors are the ones who can tell how zombies are created, and maybe how to fix them?

Chemistry: "Breaking Bad"

Breaking Bad

Obviously.

Business/Finance: "Mad Men"

Even though business sometimes has nothing to do with it.

Management: "The Office"

The Office

This slightly unrealistic show might give you some high expectations.

Construction Management: "Fixer Upper"

Fixer Upper

Everyone, especially construction management majors, wishes they were as cool and creative as Chip and Joanna Gaines.

Sorry if your major wasn't on here, I did my best! What did I miss and what show would they be?

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.

"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.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
