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.

19 Lessons I'll Never Forget from Growing Up In a Small Town

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
