Fall is, without a doubt, the best season of the year. The weather gets a little cooler, fall-themed decorations are adorable, the leaves turn to gorgeous different colors, and there are plenty of fun adventures to go on (haunted houses, apple-picking, pumpkin carving, baking etc.)! One of the greatest reasons that fall is the best season of the year is because it introduces the most delicious comfort foods.
If college majors were fall comfort foods, here's what they would be.
1. Engineering: roasted turkey
Your fellow engineering major will gladly carve the turkey for you; after all, they are used to paying close attention to the details of structure.
2. Women's studies: chicken noodle soup
Chicken noodle soup has many purposes: you can eat it when you're sick, tired, hungry, upset, happy, on-the-go, lunch break at work. It's versatile, just like women's studies majors.
3. Art: caramel apple
Caramel apples are so aesthetically pleasing just like the creations of an art major. The glossy glaze perfectly enveloping the crisp fruit decorated with chopped nuts or other various delicacies is a work of art itself.
4. Political science: chili
You either love politics or you hate it; you either love chili or you hate it.
5. English: pumpkin spice latte
The sweet, comforting pumpkin spice latte is the perfect fall comfort food to keep you alert while you read the six articles, two entire novels, three plays, and one chapter in the textbook all assigned for homework this week.
6. Biology: brussels sprouts
Only those who are experts in the study of life are fans of this green, leafy vegetable.
7. Psychology: pumpkin roll
You have to really cut into the pumpkin roll to get to the good cream cheese swirls on the inside, just like how a pysch major is equipped to delve into people's minds in order to figure out all the good stuff.
8. Mathematics: candy corn
The acute angles and parallel lines of orange, white, and yellow that make up a candy corn attract the eyes of a math major in a heartbeat.
9. Business: stuffing
A basic staple that brings any fall meal together, just as how business majors understand how to maintain the foundation of the economy.
10. History: pumpkin pie
A traditional fall comfort food that is best suited for the college major who specializes in leaning about traditions.
11. Chemistry: green bean casserole
This dish just looks like a chemistry experiment (gone wrong??) made by a mad chemist.
12. Dance: cranberry sauce
The gelatin version of this sweet addition to any fall meal shimmies and grooves along at its' own pace, without a care in the world, much like a dance major.
13. Liberal studies: pumpkin macaroni and cheese
Mixing pumpkin flavor and fall spices with mac and cheese is a creative way of combining different kinds of things. An exciting twist on a classic, pumpkin macaroni and cheese correlates to the liberal studies major student in the sense that these students are well-versed in diverse areas of study, mixing up a variety of worldviews rather than focusing on just one (idea/flavor).
14. Tourism, leisure, and event planning: apple cider
Apple cider can be served hot or cold, whichever you prefer is what you will get. TLEP majors are trained to make their customers feel most excited about whatever option best works for them to prioritize optimal comfort.
15: Sociology: pot pie
Sociologists are interested in the way the world works based on the effects of the interactions of humans and their social constructs. There's a lot going on in a pot pie: meat, vegetables, spices, gravy all encased in a flaky dough crust.
16. Education: pumpkin seeds
The creativity that is involved in making pumpkin seeds is only inhibited by those who are education majors. Teachers-in-the-making are able to put a creative spin on ordinary things to make those things stand out; the possibilities of turning bland pumpkin seeds into something different and tasty are truly endless.
17. Criminal justice: corn pudding
Criminal justice majors train to figure out major mysteries. Maybe they can also figure out the purpose of corn pudding?
18. Nursing: sweet potato
Nursing majors are kind, empathetic, loving, and always there for you. No doubt that sweet potatoes correlate with this college major; they are sweet and good for you.
19: Communications: buttered biscuit
The best conversations always occur over bread, prior to the actual entrance of the meal.
20. Sports management: artichoke dip
Sports management majors know what they should be doing to stay healthy, but that doesn't necessarily mean that they follow those guidelines (hence, the artichoke dip, kind of healthy, kind of not).
21. Gerontology: mashed potatoes with gravy
The study of aging... mashed potatoes and gravy can be eaten at any age, teeth or no teeth.
22. Kinesiology: butternut squash
You study how the body works and totally understand the importance of taking care of the body; thus, you only put the best foods into it.
