A Hate Letter To My Major

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

A Hate Letter To My Major
Schollegiate

Dear Major,

When I was a shining freshman, I couldn't go an entire conversation without telling my new friends about you. I was proud to identify myself by you. I was eager to take all of these advanced classes about you and learn more than I could have ever dreamed.

Now I'm a junior and my shine for you has dulled.

It's not that I hate you. If I hated you, I would have switched majors by now. I just hate the work.

When I was a freshman, I couldn't wait to crack ope all of the 300 and 400 level textbooks that you had to offer. I couldn't wait to sit down in those classes and get to work on learning what I wanted to do with the rest of my life.

But I'm tired. I don't want to read whole books on ancient practices or stay up late writing papers reviewing you.

I just want a nap that you're not giving me.

Not a day goes by that I don't want to just leave. I was literally sitting in the middle of a class last week and thought, "I'll just drop this major and be done with it."

But there's nothing else I could see myself doing.

You get on my nerves. You make me cry. You make me want to drop out of college and live under a bridge for the rest of my life.

But I still love to say that you're my major, and my life wouldn't be the same without you.

Love,
Your Stressed Out Double Major

P.S. Your sibling major isn't that great either.

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.
