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.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
