The Life Of A Communication Studies Major, As Told By 'Sherlock'

The life of a communication studies major is pretty sweet.

So what if we're not the best at math or science? We don't have to study 24/7, our social skills are pretty much perfect, and when we graduate, we'll have a lot of options. What's not to like?

Think you could handle the life of a comm major?

1. Homework? What homework?

You'll very rarely find us with our noses in our textbooks, studying frantically until the wee hours of the morning. We have essays, sure, but we often get to write about our opinion or personal experiences (which is more fun, honestly).

2. Constant. Talking.

We're communication students! So naturally, we communicate very well -- and often! It's not uncommon for a comm studies class to be lively and talkative (until the professor starts teaching, of course).

3. Math and science GE's? Blech.

Yeah, the math and sciences aren't really our thing. Maximum boredom.

4. Unlike Sherlock, we have perfect social skills.

By the end of class on the first day, we've probably already bonded with whoever's sitting next to us. We kind of feed off each other's energy. Basically, we just really like meeting people!

5. Social media is, like, our thing.

Odds are we probably knew about Snapchat before you did. And we probably have an account on social media sites that you've never even heard of.

6. Going to the library with friends and having nothing to do.

Like I said earlier, we don't really spend hours memorizing terms or theories or analyzing data.

Instead, what we do learn is applicable to our real lives, and if that means spending more time outside the library than in it, that's fine with me! (Less homework means more social time, after all!)

7. People constantly asking, "What are you going to do with a comm degree?"

Well, we could do a lot of things! HR, PR, journalism, social media experts, counseling, etc. -- the possibilities are endless! It all depends on what we're interested in studying.

Honestly, the great thing about studying communication is that it's broad enough to support a whole range of careers. No matter what you do, you still need to communicate, right? Might as well get a degree and be amazing at it, too!

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
