Stop Making A Competition Out Of College Majors

Every major has its fair share of challenges.

Stop Making A Competition Out Of College Majors

Business, nursing, English, communications, biology and the other 30 or 40 or so majors offer different experiences to different students. However, the biggest question that I ask myself about these majors is why some students feel the need to prove why their major is more difficult than someone else's? What difference does it make toward your educational experience?

What makes it OK to undermine someone else's life path simply because you think that you take harder classes?

I have had so many people make negative remarks to me about being a business major. People in other majors have said, "Oh yeah, my friends don't understand that I couldn't do whatever activity because they are business majors and have it easy." Everyone has their niche in life. Some are better at writing, some are better at math and so on. I know that I could never willingly take a science class because I know that I would struggle in it. However, I also know that many people that could never take an accounting course because they would not be able to keep up with it. It all is what you are good at.

Every major has its fair share of challenges and the back and forth of who has it harder is irrelevant.

We are all college students. We are all in the same boat. We all have plenty of exams, papers and presentations to complete before graduation. So stop ragging on other majors for "having it easy" because maybe one week you have one more exam than they do.

It shouldn't be a competition.

We are all striving for the same goal and instead of pushing each other down, we should be acknowledging that we all have our own struggles when it comes to college and offer support when one of us is struggling.

College is hard for everyone and life is harder. So stop making a competition about something so unnecessary and stop comparing your major to everyone else's.

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.

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.
