It's Time To Stop Judging Each Other Based On Our Majors

We get it, you're a biology major and you're probably taking harder classes than me.

It's time to think about why we really go to college. We all have different reasons but the most standard one is to get an education that will allow us to find a job in the future. Everyone has different strengths and weaknesses; You may be great at math but I may be better at history. Every single person has their own definition of what is hard based on personal experience. When you were in high school, you may or may not have judged other people based on whether or not they were taking an AP, honors, or regular class. That doesn't stop in college. We all like to judge each other based on our majors and the classes we take. Not to point fingers, but most of the time it's the science majors who are making fun of the English majors, Psychology majors, Business majors, and so on.

We all understand that being a science major requires an enormous amount of time and effort but it's not like business majors don't have it rough as well. Many of my friends are majoring in finance and marketing. They may not be taking Chemistry, but they are taking Introduction to Financial Accounting, which is also very difficult. Picking a major is one of the most difficult tasks you have to do in college. It is completely based on your own interests and what you excel at. Someone's passion could teaching, making them an education major. Even though it may not be as hard as biology, this is what they are interested in. For the rest of their lives, they want to be teaching and inspiring the next generations to come. Obviously, they don't need to be taking an extremely difficult math class but they will have to be taking some difficult psychology class. Not only do people pick majors on what their most passionate about but they also choose based on how much effort they really want to put into it.

I knew coming into college that even though I'm not terrible at science, I wasn't willing to put in the effort to take all of those classes. It's all about knowing what is best for you. Don't pick a certain major just because you feel like you're being forced. College is all about you. You should not be judging another person based on their major. We are all living different lives. You have no idea what each person is going through and their reasons for picking that major. We must support each other because college is hard. It's a completely new environment that we have never experienced until that moment.

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.

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.

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.
