It's Time To Stop Belittling Communications Majors

We all have certain passions or things we love to do. Some people may not agree or have different passions, but that should be ok. No one should judge you for what you like to do, but unfortunately, they do. I cannot even express how many times I have been made fun of for being a communications major. I love to write, take pictures, and videotape things.

Writing is my passion, and it helps release immense amounts of stress. Writing is my safe haven, and I should not be judged for it.

Congrats, you're a business major. Congrats, you're a nursing major. I'm sure you work beyond hard to get where you are, and you deserve to be rewarded, but that doesn't mean you should make communications majors feel bad. We have stressful projects too. We have presentations to prepare for too. We have big exams that need weeks of preparing too. We are all stressed in our own ways. In the end, we do different jobs, we get different degrees, but we all go through our own struggles too. There is no reason to bring us down or make us feel stupid because of our majors. It's what we like, and we don't give you crap about your majors.

Without us, you wouldn't have the news. Without us, you wouldn't have pictures to share about disasters or good things happening around the world. Without us, there will be no press conferences to be held when your company has a fallout. Without us, you wouldn't have an updated website with new pictures or articles.

Next time you decide to make us feel stupid or like a joke major just because we don't have to take accounting or do a 4-hour lab, just remember that all those things wouldn't be here without us. You chose to sit in the 4-hour lab because that was your passion. You chose to take accounting and struggle through it because that's your passion.

Let us have ours. We are here to help each other with our specialties not bring each other down.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.

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.
