Double-double-this-this-double-double-that-that...

You used to play this game as a kid with your friend when you were bored. But now this game is your life. The double major life "game" is challenging; it's definitely not all fun and games.

You wouldn't trade having two majors, but you realize that life is made just a *little* bit more challenging because of this. Time management is difficult, even if you are an organized person who loves planning out their life. You have to realize that you can't do it all, you must prioritize, and that it's okay to do so. Creating your class schedule for the semester is challenging. You run around campus trying to meet with your advisors and professors to see which classes you need and should take. 17 or 18 hours of class credit per semester is your life, plus some summer courses.

But sometimes you need to be reminded that you can do it. You are giving your all, and that is all you can do. You need a whole lot of Jesus, prayers, sleep, notes, chocolate, and support from your friends. You are not defined by your grades or your majors. Don't think you're better than others because you will be getting two degrees in four years, but don't think you're not as smart as other people when it takes you double the time to complete all of your assignments.

You get to experience the best of both worlds as a double major. Your options after college are unlimited (okay, not unlimited, but you have many fields that you can go into). You get to study two completely different subjects, but you love and are interested in both of them, so the workload is (in the end) worth it. You get to graduate with two undergraduate degrees and you only went to school for 4 years (take that, tuition!).

You live in two different worlds, and sometimes people don't understand that, but you do and that's all that matters. Don't let their criticism and doubts get you down. You are motivated and determined, now let's stay that way.
