Shea Savage's Guide To The College Majors

Throwing more shade, this time at education instead of religion.

Shea Savage's Guide To The College Majors
huffpost.com

In a similar vein to my prior article, "Shea Savage's Guide To The Christian Denominations," I will now be giving my official idiot's guide to the UNIVERSITY MAJORS!

Again, this is a joke, so same rules apply about not getting too salty.

Also, this is TOTALLY comprehensive and not at ALL off the top of my head, so I'm sure you guys won't notice ANY really obvious gaps here. Or ironically self-effacing sarcasm.

1. Engineering


Majoring in superiority AND inferiority complexes

Majoring in the mistaken belief that going to college is just to make money


2. Math


Majoring in detachment from society

Like engineering without the money


3. Marine Biology


Still have the same career dreams as when they were twelve

Are disappointed when dolphin rides happen less often than they imagined


4. History

Majoring in dust and loneliness

Would probably still vote for the Populist party if they could


5. Theology

Majoring in dust and loneliness, but at least they get to go to heaven

Majoring in "Actually..."


6. Christian Ministries

Majoring in youth group

All worked at summer camps in high school


7. Fine Art


Will have the best decorated cardboard box of all the hobos

Can argue convincingly that even literal turds belong in galleries


8. Women's Studies

Majoring in Facebook rants

Fight for the rights of all women except those who are still unborn


9. Government


Majoring in pure evil

Like history majors without the learning


10. Education

Almost too meta to cope

Hope you like kids


11. Business


Majoring in middle management

Totally going to "start their own company" after grad school


12. Communication

Majoring in Undeclared Major

Seriously it's just a placeholder till you pick something real to study


13. English

Majoring in objectively the best major, but I'm slightly biased

Majoring in not-math

Hope you guys enjoy my latest in SHEA'S GUIDES! Maybe more will come later if I ever feel like it and the clocks were striking thirteen again.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

Humans and robots face off in a rock band battle with guitars and drums, under dynamic lighting.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
