Walking through the chilly and rainy streets of New York once more after a 3-month break, seeing students working hard in coffee shops or in the library. It signifies the start of another school year in college.

College is a great way to meet new people, whether you are a freshman or a senior. It is a new chapter of your life and you are bound to meet someone new every day or every other day. It is common for most people to start the conversation by introducing their name, what year they are in and what major they are.

Some may think that introducing yourself to others is just an easy way to break the ice in between but sometimes that is not the case.

I've had countless conversations where people just seem uninterested in me as soon as I say what major I am and personally, I feel that it is so unfair. We should all give a chance to further know someone new instead of judging them based on what they are studying. A person's personality isn't defined but what they study in.

I am a Chemistry major. Does it mean I like science? Yes, it does. Does that classify me as a geek/nerd? No.

Does it mean I have no social life and is constantly staying cooped up in my room watching science-related videos? No.

Here are the things that you may not know about me: I like to enjoy going out, I like to dance and I actually did theater in high school. Furthermore, just this last summer I discovered my passion for baking.

These hobbies have nothing to do with science but these are the hobbies that I share and truly enjoy. I may be a science major but my life doesn't necessarily revolve around it.

This is my message to every college kid out there, give a chance to know someone better before judging them based on the facts that you have.

There might be a girl who majors in Math but loves hip-hop.

There might be a guy who majors in philosophy but loves skateboarding.

There might be a guy who majors in mechanical engineering but loves outdoor activities.

There's always more to a person that just what they study in and who knows what paths we might take after we graduate. That is why we should keep an open mind and heart when meeting new people, they could be the ones who are a part of your support system and always being there for you in the future.

There are all these opportunities out there for us but none of them will ever happen if you judge someone too quickly. You will never know until you try.
