Things That Journalism Majors Are Tired Of Hearing

If I hear "You're never going to get a job" one more time...

Things That Journalism Majors Are Tired Of Hearing
Media Shift

Everyone is most likely going to always have something to say about Liberal Arts majors, but there are a couple of things in particular that journalism majors hear about 10 times a week... and it's getting really old.

1. Newspapers Are So Dead.. How Are You Ever Going To Find A Job?


Luckily, journalism is a hell of a lot more than just newspapers. You know the lady on Fox News you like to watch every morning? Yeah, probably a journalism major.

2. Hey, Can You Read Over This Paper For Me?


Not unless you have a lot of paragraph breaks.

3. You're Major Is So Easy.


I'm sorry, did you decide that before or after you wanted me to read over your paper because you're 20 years old and still can't figure out MLA format to save your life?

4. You Need A Source For An Interview? Use Me!


No. Just no.

5. It Must Be Nice To Have Like No Finals.


No we just have finals, on top of papers, on top of three stories that we have to write.. All due at midnight. But you're right, it must be nice.

6. You Must Be Really Good At Arguing.


Yes actually I am. Would you like to see a first-hand demonstration?

7. It's A Risky Field.


Honestly that's the best part. We're willing to risk everything just for the slightest chance the we just might get to do what we love for the rest of our lives.

8. You Must Be Not In It For The Money.


Trust me, we may not be mathematics majors but we managed to figure that one out.

9. Your Journalism Class Must Be An Easy A.

Oh totally.. Except for the fact that your journalism professor will mark you down 30 points just because they think "your lead sounds weird" or you wrote 3 instead of three.


10. Journalism Is A Useless Degree.


Yeah and so is your opinion but you still keep talking.


We may not have the easiest time getting our dream job or make the most money, but I can guarantee you one thing. You will never meet someone in the J-School who isn't absolutely in love with what they're doing.

beer on the beach

Summer is hot and humid, and it's almost like summer was made specifically to drink the refreshing, cold, crisp wonderful, delicious, nutritious nectar of the gods. Which is none other than beer; wonderful cold beer. With summer playing peek-a-boo around the corner while we finish up this semester, it's time to discuss the only important part of summer. And if you haven't already guessed, it's beer. There are few things I take more seriously than my beer, in order are: sports... and beer. Here are my favorite summer brews:

Bruce Springsteen's Top 7 Lyrics

Everything Bruce says in his classic rock songs.

Anyone who was born and raised in New Jersey (or anywhere really) knows of Bruce Springsteen, whether or not they like him is a whole other situation. I hope that his hundreds of classic rock songs and famous high energy performances, even in his sixties he can put on better concerts than people half his age, are at least recognizable to people of all ages. Love him or hate him (I identify with the former) you have to admit that some of his songs and interviews have inspirational quotes and lyrics.

New England Summers Are The BEST Summers

Why you should spend your next summer in New England.

Marconi Beach

Three years ago, I chose to attend college in Philadelphia, approximately 360 miles away from my small town in New Hampshire. I have learned many valuable lessons away from home, and have thoroughly enjoyed my time spent in Pennsylvania. One thing that my experience has taught me, however, is that it is absolutely impossible to beat a New England summer.

You cannot beat the beach. Believe it or not (which many people may not), New England has a long and beautiful coastline. Most of my high school summers were spent sitting on the Wall at Hampton Beach, getting sunburnt and eating Acai bowls from The Secret Spot. The Wall was the place to be both during the day and at night. We begin our days there with a KB's bagel and coffee, and end them with pizza and ice cream. It’s not a New England summer without that 4 p.m. text from someone, “Who wants to meet at the Wall tonight?” Nighttime is for Tripoli’s Pizza, the sound of waves, and wishes on shooting stars. Wednesday nights are especially important, as those are the nights that Hampton Beach sets off the weekly firework display.
