If College Majors Were Board Games

Nursing students would definitely be 'Operation'

The whole reason that we have defined our major in college is because we've determined that we're good at something. For example, nursing students would probably be great at Operation because, well, they'll be doing surgeries quite a bit in their job. What game represents your major?

1. Accounting

Monopoly is such a good fit for accountants. The whole game centers around balancing your money and purchasing as many assets as possible while also taking into account your liabilities.

2. Criminal Justice

How could Clue not represent a CJ major? You're investigating a murder. It's just prep work for the real deal, really.

3. English

With Scrabble, you have to make words using only the letters you're given. English majors are all about using words that no one has heard before, so of course this game would be perfect for them.

4. Psychology

Chess is all about getting into your opponents head to figure out their next move. Psychologists have to do the same thing to better understand their clients to help them.

5. Art

Pictionary is literally drawing things and having people guess what it is. Of course someone who's majoring in something that can deal with art would be great at a game like Pictionary.

6. Political Science

Cards Against Humanity is perfect for poli sci majors because 1) a lot of the cards have to do with political standpoints and history, and 2) they have to argue why their card is the best fit. It's basically their job to argue what to do.

7. Communications / Public Relations

Telephone is the obvious fit for communications/public relations majors. The whole premise of the game is to communicate, after all.

8. Education

Trivial Pursuit is the ultimate knowledge game, so of course education majors would be a great fit for this game.

9. Theatre

CHARADES. They have to act out a word or idea in order to win the game.

10. Dance


Twister is all about having the moves, which dancers obviously have.

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.
