If Your College Major Was A Drink

If Your College Major Was A Drink

Have you ever wondered where drink names like “Fuzzy Navel” and “Screwdriver” originated? Well, I would have to guess that those names were inspired by other things, as "screwdriver" really is not a flavor that I have experienced in this lifetime. There are lots of things that can inspire drink names. Have you ever heard of the Shirley Temple?

If college majors were to inspire drinks, it would likely play out something like this.

1. Education — Shots

When teaching kids, there is only one thing that is going to cure your bad day at work and that is shots. LMFAO had it right.


2. Women Studies — IPA Beer

Where are my fellow feminists at? What goes better with talk about glass ceilings and pay gaps than some hoppy beer? That’s right, there's nothing better.


3. Communications — Mike's Hard Lemonade

You came to college wanting an “easy A” major, so you joined the communications department. Your first paper grade was an "E." Similarly, you drink Mike's Hard for a relaxing summer night, but then you wake up the next morning in a sailor hat on a boat in Tahoe with a killer headache.


4. Engineering — Sake Bombs

Who knows the depths of the north campus better than the engineers? Who would be able to balance some chopsticks and a shot glass on the rim of a sticky cup in the dark corners of a cantina better than engineers? That is why sake bombs are the drinks for engineers.


5. Chemistry — Jäger Bombs

Let's get some beakers and get down to business. Jäger Bombs are the only drink that makes sense for chemists.


6. Spanish — Tequila and Lime

On the first day of freshmen year, you think that those measly two years of Spanish in high school prepared you for Spanish103 at UMich. You’re wrong. Get ready for some long nights of flashcards. It's truly "work hard, play hard" in this major.


7. Art History — Jack and Coke

UMMA is a holy grail for you. The endless powerpoints of pictures of art really get your gears going. You’re edgy and different, we get that. That is why you are a jack and coke. You're a classic with a twist. You’re cool.


8. English — Wine


Are you reading some Walden with a glass of white wine? How much more "English department" can you get? Dim the lights and pour a full glass of wine, because this is going to be a long night of essays and articles.


9. Nursing — Shirley Temple

If you’ve ever met a nursing student at the University of Michigan, it was probably in the library. You probably had a quick conversation because they were busy studying for their pharm exam in three weeks. There is limited time for play when you’re majoring in heath, so that is why their drink is the Shirley Temple.


10. Film — White Russian

"The Big Lebowski" is all that you need to know.


11. Computer Science — The Mind Probe

You walk into Rick's. The floor is sticky and its hard to move, but you’ve got one thing on your mind. It’s been a hard week of coding and its time for a Mind Probe. Rick's is the home of your drink and you wouldn’t have it any other way.


12. Business — Dirty Martini


"Or maybe fettuccine, dirty martini."

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
