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.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
