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

Think you can handle it?

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!

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
