When I began college three years ago as a business major, I didn't fully understand what I was getting myself into, but now nearing graduation, I've identified the truths behind life as a business major which can be best explained by Patrick Star.
There’s a rivalry between the different types of business majors
This includes accounting, finance, marketing, human resource management, healthcare management, sports management, international business, and many others. Though each is uniquely valuable, every business major will have specifics regarding why their area trumps the others.
You become more comfortable with Microsoft Excel than a calculator
You may not be bilingual, but you certainly become fluent in the language of Excel.

Shark Tank and Mad Men can be considered educational material
Both of these television shows provide insight into the"real life" business world - though becoming a millionaire may not be realistic at the moment.

It's very exciting when you can find a top or pair of shoes that can double as professional attire and be worn to social gatherings.

LinkedIn connections are more exciting than new followers
Professors constantly emphasize the importance of networking, and you enjoy being acknowledged as a professional.

Whether it's appreciating changes in the advertisement, technology, or processes, or formulating suggestions regarding social media efforts, color schemes, or displays, you seem to evaluate these items without even realizing.
The level of difficulty is often underestimated
Although challenging at times, perhaps more than expected, you’re still confident that you made the right choice in becoming a business major.
