There has always seemed to be this fight between liberal arts and STEM majors. Normally it is STEM majors who tend to start this needless fight. Deeming themselves as "superior" because they are not sitting there and drawing or learning the history of a group. Some think they are better because they are not getting a useless degree. I think it is crazy to make such a separation like that.

Without those focusing on the arts, those focusing on science would not have an easy time.

To any STEM major, take a look at your textbooks. The countless of pictures, diagrams, elaborate depictions of cells and the human body, the odds of someone who majored in graphic design or some sort of art degree most likely aided in that production. I am not sure about you, but as a STEM major myself, having that visual assistance as I am studying help tremendously.

We could not do this without our artistic friends.

I have watched so many of my friends majoring in some form of art struggle just as much as I do in passing a class. They are not just coloring all day, many have projects that take weeks if not sometimes months to complete. Some rehearse for hours on end to the point of exhaustion. Yes, we might be studying why and how this specific genome can affect the human body if changed, or the exact angle a piece of equipment needs to be to properly hold a car, but it does not make our major harder than theirs. By the end of the day, we both have studied hard, put our best work forward, and attempting to make the best grade possible.

Arts and sciences do not have to be polar opposites, we are more one in the same than people make it out to be.

We rely on each other to make our jobs easier and allow both sides of the coin to grow. Whether if it is programmers making a new editing software, or a graphic designer working on a physics professor's new book cover, we have to work together eventually.

So stop making one major seem better than one another, and start working together from the get-go. Visit their department and learn something about them. Visit an art museum or read a research paper on how drawing affects hormones. Understand one another. Both majors just want to better their lives and follow their dreams, to be happy within their field of work.
