Do Not Judge My Major

College majors: there are so many to pick from that most of us get overwhelmed with the choices we need to make. Some of us know, some of us don't. I was in the big bulk of people who had no damn clue what I wanted to do with my life. I came to terms with that and I was okay because when I found my major, and I came to love it more than I could imagine.

A few days ago, someone made a comment to me. They said "Oh you're just a psychology major; that's nothing, that's easy." I was complelty and utterly offended by this statement for many reasons. I struggled with deciding on what I was going to do five to ten or more years from now. When I finally made a decision, it was the greatest feeling ever. So, to say my major was "nothing" was pretty rude.

We are all different. We all have different interests. Hence, the variety of different majors one can pick from. It's hard to pick a major. Many people change their major multiple times before finding the right one. Just because I'm not going to medical school does not mean I am lesser than that person who is. I will have just as much as an opportunity to succeed as the next doctor will of our generation. I will be just as happy as them.

We all have the right to make our own choices that will benefit us the most in the long run. To question and judge that is not fair. I love psychology. I love learning about how humans think, develop and go through the stages of life. I love to help people and figuring out how they think and how to fix problem is enjoyable for me.

I have chosen the right major for me and I fully believe that in my heart. Everyone can't all want to do the same things in life and that is why there are so many opportunities for us today. We have options for a reason, so I hate when people will judge me for making a one hard choice out of millions.

I think the main idea here is that we all made that choice when we entered college. Sometimes, it is easy for us but most of the time it is not. My father knew he wanted to be a dentist since he was a little boy and that is exactly what he grew up to be. Unlike him, I needed a little time and exploring to figure it out.

Support is very important for people who struggle with anything. My struggle happened to be with my choice of major and to be pushed down like that was not a great feeling. I just wanted a little support. And I know that really isn't a lot to ask for.

I will indeed graduate from my four year university with a degree I can be proud of, a sense of accomplishment and a smile on my face. And that is all that matters.

beer on the beach

Summer is hot and humid, and it's almost like summer was made specifically to drink the refreshing, cold, crisp wonderful, delicious, nutritious nectar of the gods. Which is none other than beer; wonderful cold beer. With summer playing peek-a-boo around the corner while we finish up this semester, it's time to discuss the only important part of summer. And if you haven't already guessed, it's beer. There are few things I take more seriously than my beer, in order are: sports... and beer. Here are my favorite summer brews:

Bruce Springsteen's Top 7 Lyrics

Everything Bruce says in his classic rock songs.

Anyone who was born and raised in New Jersey (or anywhere really) knows of Bruce Springsteen, whether or not they like him is a whole other situation. I hope that his hundreds of classic rock songs and famous high energy performances, even in his sixties he can put on better concerts than people half his age, are at least recognizable to people of all ages. Love him or hate him (I identify with the former) you have to admit that some of his songs and interviews have inspirational quotes and lyrics.

New England Summers Are The BEST Summers

Why you should spend your next summer in New England.

Marconi Beach

Three years ago, I chose to attend college in Philadelphia, approximately 360 miles away from my small town in New Hampshire. I have learned many valuable lessons away from home, and have thoroughly enjoyed my time spent in Pennsylvania. One thing that my experience has taught me, however, is that it is absolutely impossible to beat a New England summer.

You cannot beat the beach. Believe it or not (which many people may not), New England has a long and beautiful coastline. Most of my high school summers were spent sitting on the Wall at Hampton Beach, getting sunburnt and eating Acai bowls from The Secret Spot. The Wall was the place to be both during the day and at night. We begin our days there with a KB's bagel and coffee, and end them with pizza and ice cream. It’s not a New England summer without that 4 p.m. text from someone, “Who wants to meet at the Wall tonight?” Nighttime is for Tripoli’s Pizza, the sound of waves, and wishes on shooting stars. Wednesday nights are especially important, as those are the nights that Hampton Beach sets off the weekly firework display.
