Do you know I cry

From dust."

"'Cause I know my weakness, know my voice.
And I'll believe in grace and choice.

But I'll be born without a mask."
Communications majors not only know their voice and its impact, but also the dangers of censoring what needs to be said. Therefore, they don't appreciate being silenced by the mask that comes with being politically correct.

14. Education - "I Won't Let You Go" by Snow Patrol

CLASSIC Y'ALL
16. Nursing - "Someone to You" by BANNERS
"And if the sun's upset and the sky goes cold,
Then if the clouds get heavy and start to fall.
I really need somebody to call my own
I wanna be somebody to someone,
Someone to you."
Many have no idea how selfless nurses actually are. And all they want is to help mothers, sons, grandparents, and families. For many, nurses are the saving grace of a hospital.
17. Law - "Move Along" by All-American Rejects
Law school is widely known to be difficult, with all of the laws that students have to retain and the heavy testing, but it is possible! When you lose hope, just "move along and make it through" and get to bigger and better things.
18. Social Work - "You Are Enough" by Sleeping At Last
"'You are enough.'
These little words, somehow they’re changing us.
'You are enough.'
So we let our shadows fall away like dust."
Social workers often work with children from bad situations, whether in their home life or something else, and all they need to hear is that they are wanted and they are enough.

Butter and bread

And I wish I could shout you out"
