Starter Packs For College Majors

Everything needs a starter pack.

All of the college majors have their own stereotypes, so every major obviously needs its own starter pack. Keep reading for some suggestions depending on your unique major!

Art History

Obviously, an art history major needs to have a Kanken backpack that’s preferably a mustard shade, but any other color will do. They will also be wearing a vintage-looking pair of glasses that are probably the “tortoise” style and crew-length socks that have something to do with art. They will likely have bangs that look weirdly too short. They will also be carrying a cup of coffee in a recyclable cup, a sketchbook that is just a few inches too big to fit in their Kanken, and some art book visible in their arm, such as a Matisse, Klimt, or Picasso book.

Philosophy

A philosophy major will be wearing a pair of stylish, yet large-for-their-face glasses, a vintage striped sweater that looks really comfortable and better than it should, and a pair of brown oxfords combined with a matching leather messenger bag. To top it off, we can’t forget the beanie.

English

The English major will above all be carrying a cup of some specialty coffee to keep them up late into the night so that they can finish that huge, classic of a book that they seem to carry around everywhere that no one else could even fathom wanting to read, such as "War and Peace" or "Pride and Prejudice." They will also have a portable book light on them at all times, and their library card will always be close by. Often, they will be seen across campus jotting down random words or sayings into their notebooks.

Film

The film major will above all have some super fancy and expensive camera hanging around their neck at all times. They will also have fancy movie posters all over their walls and will be wearing an overly chunky vintage cardigan even when it’s about 90 degrees outside.

Anthropology

The anthropology major will always have all-natural and organic snacks in their backpack and will have a sticker from every place they’ve ever traveled somewhere visible so everyone else will know that they’ve traveled to all of these places. They will also be able to pull off some lazy look with their hair that actually looks really put together and others will question how it’s possible.

Engineering

A black coffee on hand at all times, in combination with a bunch of loose sheets of math, a super modern and fancy techno laptop, an unnatural lack of sleep that has somehow become natural, dark circles under their eyes, and a few dried tears on their cheeks because they have so much homework to do.

Architecture

Just that giant portfolio bag kind of thing over their shoulder. No need for any other items in this starter pack.

Inspiration was drawn from the things I see on campus with a little help from this post on Pinterest from Buzzfeed.

NOTE: This is satire and is not meant to be offensive. I even roast 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:

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

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.
