I am a proud communications major. I look forward to going to class everyday, which is a lot more than what most college students can say. I love what I am learning and I know I will apply it to all of my future endevors. I have such an a wide range of classes to choose from that registration is difficult. What do I do when 18 hours is the maximum I can take but I want to take 30?

Every time I tell someone my major I am asked the same question, "so what are you going to do with that?" I simply reply with, "I don't know, I have so many options on my mind that its impossible to narrow the down to just one." My major isn't for those who "cant do anything else". My major is for those with a creative mind. My major is for those who want to touch people with their creations. My Major is for those who love people.

For three years of college I had the same mindset as these people. I mocked communication majors. I assumed they were not smart and needed an easy major just so they can say they have a four year degree. I said this as I sat miserably in my law courses wishing I was them because they were studying everything I loved. Video production, editing, writing, social media, public relations, broadcasting, etc. I fell into the trap of deeming what majors were useful and not so useful.

So there I was, a semester away from heading to law school but the thought of practicing law made me want to cry and hide away. I didn't want to die in a career that didn't make me happy It's a waste of life. So I dropped all my spring law classes and registered for three communications classes and the feeling I got confirmed that this is where I belonged. I absolutely love all my classes and the thought of the future no longer makes me want to run, but it makes me so excited I can hardly contain it.

So this is for my useless majors. Don't let anyone tell you what you love is pointless. Don't let anyone tell you what you love makes you stupid. Judging someone's passion makes you stupid. Pursuing what you love makes you a genius. You don't need a finance, biology or nursing degree to be important. A book I just finished said it perfectly, "fuck it, do what you love." So fuck it, do what YOU LOVE.
