The other day as I sat in the student union ferociously typing a paper I took a quick break to grab me some Starbucks. This girl can't do her assignments unless she has at least one cup of coffee to help her power through. As I stood in line debating on whether I wanted to try something new or get my usual (I, of course, got my usual even after I promised myself I'd try something new) I couldn't help but over here a conversation between a couple of guys.

While most of the time I only half listen to other people's conversations or just listen in for a good laugh I couldn't help but feel kind of upset when I heard what they were saying.

I heard a couple guys actually saying that my major wasn't hard at all and that anybody could get a degree in it. Given, they had no idea that I was in the program they were bashing otherwise they'd probably have something else to say. It upset me to hear that some people don't think I work as hard as others. I know how hard I work to achieve my grades and goals and would never put someone else's major down. I know how hard everyone in all majors has it. It's no easy task to juggle courses, work, and a social life for anyone regardless of what their declared major is.

I get it. I really do. Whenever you become overwhelmed with school work you feel like nobody else on this Earth has ever been as stressed as you. It can seem unfair and you can be left feeling like your field has more work than anybody else's. This just isn't true. Everyone of every single field of study has their own work to do. How would you truly know that their work is easier than yours unless you're in it yourself? Chances are you may think their workload is easy, but for them, it could be overwhelming.

The moral of the story is that we all get stressed out no matter what program we're in. Stop shaming some majors over others. Think about how you would feel if someone was shaming what you were doing, saying that you don't work as hard as them. It would crush you. So please, if you take anything away from this, remember that every college student is working hard towards their goals, no matter what field they are in.
