Feelings You Experience in Your Major Classes

I love you. I hate you. I can't live without you.

Feelings You Experience in Your Major Classes
University of Rochester: Department of Political Science

I may have planned badly on my part. At first it seemed like a good idea, but now I'm starting to wonder if I did the right thing.

I decided to take only classes in my major this year.

In my defense, I'm a double major, so I'm not strictly taking one kind of class. But that still doesn't help my situation at all. There's nothing to break up my daily doses of what I'm getting my degree in. Nothing just to shake things up. Nothing that I don't have to worry about understanding fully because I won't necessarily need it in the future.

I'm terrified.

Whether you're currently drowning like me, or have already been there, done that, you understand the feelings associated with major classes.

First day, feeling fine. You're home now, where you'll be until you graduate. This building is your domain.

Oh, the syllabus? Let me look over all of the things I'll be so quick to pick up on, because, well, it's my major.

Oh? That book sounds kind of complicated. Ehh, I'm studying this for my living; I should get it.

Okay, lesson one! Let's get through this with ease.

Wait, what is this an example of? What is the professor even talking about?

How does this apply to anything in this class?

I have to have this whole book read by the next class? I can barely understand it!

Do I really need this major? Is it that important to my success in this field?

Oh, wait, the professor tied it back. They brought it back to the original topic. I think get it now!

I love this major!

Wait, it's gonna be like this all year?

But through all of the tears of five classes of the same topic day after day, it's too bad I can't imagine myself doing anything else for the rest of my life.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
