In college, there are two groups of majors.

There are the groups of kids in the sciences, mathematics, and business; these are the kids that have the "hard" majors, where they stay up until 4 a.m. studying in the library, the kids who have to memorize pages of formulas for one test. And it's true, they have a hard time; their majors are rigorous and they try hard every day.

But there is the other half of any university where, if you fall into this category, gets you described as "the easy majors." The kids in the arts, the kids in communications, and the kids in liberal arts. The kids that stay up until 4 a.m. working on projects, the kids who have to memorize editing techniques in five different styles. And it's true, they have an easier time, their majors are comprised of logic and creativity, but they try just as hard.

So, "easy majors," this is a thank you letter to you.

Dear "easy majors,"

Thank you for giving me the patience to deal with other students in my dorm hall and core classes that walk past me studying only to say "why are you trying so hard, its an easy class," and the patience to deal with other students in my major who actually don't take it seriously. It's not always easy to hold my tongue and laugh when someone comments on my homework that requires putting together a social media page or drawing a storyboard, but having the "easy major" has given me an appreciation for the work that I am able to do. I am able to appreciate every single assignment I have that requires my creativity, because at least I'm having fun in my classes.

Thank you for giving me mentors that have come in the form of professors of my "easy classes." While the science students are sitting in lecture halls with 200 other "hard major" kids, I get to make personal connections with my class of 20. I have been able to walk up to my professors after class and have conversations with them about the future of our field and about the class. I have been able to interview my professors and learn about their careers, because they are all so successful, and are so proud when their students start to venture into the real world of the field.

Thank you for not letting me "chase the money" when so many kids in the "hard majors" hate their field but are sticking with it so they can make money in the future. While they are disappointed every day about going to their classes, I get to look forward to classes where I am genuinely interested in the topics. When I have night labs until 9 p.m., I don't complain, I am giddy with the chance to experience the techniques of professionals in the field. I absorb every tidbit of information my professors tell me, because it will all be useful in my upcoming internships and career. I may not be walking into a career with 100K starting salary, and I may have to start out getting coffee for millionaires, but I will be happy, and I will be fulfilled.

Thank you for the group projects that have taught me how to be a better communicator and friend. I haven't always had the best time giving up control and letting people pull their own weight. But by being in "the easy major," I have been able to develop my character and find my niche in projects. I have learned to let the creatives do their thing, and let the leaders do theirs. I have learned to build relationships with the people in my randomly chosen groups, and they are now my greatest assets for advice and for fun.

Thank you for giving me a passion as I learn about the creative aspects and the business behind my future career. I have been given a passion for the technique and the science behind our society as it relates to my future job, and I can not begin to describe that feeling. I have been given a passion for the future of our country and entertainment. And I have been given a renewed passion for the books, the films, and the art that once inspired me to even take a chance on "the easy major."

Every day, at least one person tells me that "the easy major" means nothing, because our resumes only matter because of the internships and part-time jobs we get. I am told that "the easy major" is only there to make the kids with "hard majors" look like they're doing more important work.

But I am proud to be in "the easy major". I am proud of the all-nighters I have pulled as a Film major, trying to learn the difference between a three-quarter rear shot and a close-up. I am proud of the countless study rooms booked for my group project for my classes as a Communications major. But mostly, I am proud of the kids that sit with me in the colleges of art, communications, and liberal arts. Because we can stand together and say that we have fun every day in class, we can say that we don't take ourselves too seriously to the point of panic, and we can say that we are passionate about our futures.

So, thank you, "easy major," for giving me the love of school that makes me want to come back semester after semester.
