Different Majors At Christmas Parties

Happy holidays! As the fall semester comes to a close, everyone wants to celebrate with ugly sweater parties and other trendy Yuletide activities. Here are some things you might expect to find at a party when majors mix this holiday season.

The political science major and the history major are ironically wearing ugly Christmas sweaters and watching old Christmas movies. During commercials, they compete to see who can name all of the US presidents and state capitals faster.


The chemistry major and biology major stand in the middle of the room wearing ugly Christmas sweaters unironically. They make jokes more abominable than any snowman. A psychology major pretends to listen to the jokes but is secretly psychoanalyzing the chemistry major.

.

The sociology major and the women’s studies major sip hot cocoa and survey the people at the party. They express mutual admiration for Bell Hooks and begin a conversation about intersectional feminism that lasts for the duration of the party.


The business major and economics major are both overdressed and are sitting on a couch drinking out of small, clear glasses. After their second round of drinks, they discuss starting a business together. By round three of drinks, they begin to arm wrestle.


The psychology major convinces the chemistry and biology majors to play an obscure charades game that none of them actually want to play. The biology major is exhausted from a four-hour lab and falls asleep within 20 minutes.


The philosophy major and religion major drink eggnog by the fireplace. The religion major pulls a nativity scene off the mantel and begins describing obscure facts about the history of Christmas. The philosophy major asks, Why does it matter? They both experience their third existential crisis of the day.


The communication major flits around the room in a Santa hat taking selfies and updating social media.

A math major and an education major are working on a 2,000-piece puzzle in the corner. The English major joins them while debating whether or not to get that copy of "A Christmas Carol" out of the car. The communication major sits next to the English major and they begin to debate the value the Oxford comma.

College is a time to meet and befriend people from all disciplines of study. Shenanigans are sure to ensure when majors mix to be merry!

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.

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.
