'Umbrella Academy' Characters As College Majors
Netflix

In This Article:

This show. Netflix choosing to adapt Gerard Way's comic into real life was TV (or binging) gold. This is not your average superhero show. It gives you a behind the scenes look at what it might be like to live the life of someone with powers. I felt like each character someone could relate to in some way. I think that is what makes a good show is when each character is complex enough to make us identify with them. Speaking of identifying, look below and see which character matches your college major!


1. Sir Reginald Hargreeves - Engineering

Giphy

This man invented a talking chimp and a bionic woman all while at the same time creating a crime fighting force to save the world. Like engineering majors, he is driven and is passionate about his inventions and creations and finds new ways to make the world more efficient through technology.

2. Mom (Grace) - Hospitality

Giphy

She cooks, she cleans, she deals with seven super teens going through puberty at the same time, mad respect for Mom on this show. Hospitality majors have to deal with a slew of different kind of challenges throughout their career, and they handle it with the same grace as Mom.

3. The Handler - Political Science

Giphy

The Handler keeps everyone and every event organized and in place. She leads precisely and is up to date on all historical events to make time run smoothly.

4. Diego - Criminology/Criminal Justice

Giphy

Diego has a tough outside, but he is always thinking about others. Most importantly, his passion is to protect the people he loves. Like Crim majors, he obviously has an affinity for justice and wanting to be a part of clearing up the crime in his town.

5. Number Five - International Studies

Giphy

Number Five has been just about everywhere, and he's got the attitude of your friend who just got back from their abroad trip from Spain.

6. Allison Hargreeves - Communications

Giphy

Allison is a master manipulator, like that's literally her power. She is subdue everyone in times of stress and be a strong voice and representative for the family.

7. Luther Hargreeves - Physical Education/Sports Management

Giphy

Luther has super strength and loyalty. He is willing to go above and beyond to keep the family together as a team.

8. Klaus Hargreeves - Theatre Performance/Production

Giphy

Klaus is not above going above and beyond to complete a mission. Whether it's traveling through time, or busting a snow globe on his head, he's ready to pull out the theatrics to save the day.

9. Vanya Hargreeves - Music Performance

Giphy

Vanya slays on the violin. Although sometimes seen as the fifth Beatle of the Hargreeves family, she is super in her own way. Her music ability and dedication definitely would make her a music major.

10. Hazel - Culinary Arts

Giphy

When Hazel isn't on the job, he's definitely trying every donut he can. Like Culinary Arts, he has respect for the food and understands the unique differences between every donut flavor. Same.

Cha-Cha - Business

Giphy

Cha-Cha is all business. She is always trying to carry out the job as effectively and quickly as possible.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.

Aubrey Plaza is one of my favorite humans in Hollywood. She's honest, blunt, unapologetic, and hilarious. I just started my sophomore year of college, and found that some of her best moments can accurately describe the start of the school year.

1. When your advisor tells you that you should declare a major soon.

2. Seeing the lost and confused freshmen and remembering that was you a short year ago, and now being grateful you know the ins and outs of the campus.

3. Going to the involvement fair to sign up for more clubs knowing that you are already too involved.

4. When you actually do the reading required for the first class.

5. Seeing your friends for the first time since last semester.

6. When you're already drowning in homework during syllabus week.

7. Realizing you don't have the same excitement for classes as you did as a freshman.

8. Going home and seeing people from high school gets weirder the older you get.

Dear Mom,

You took care of me and my brothers our entire lives and you still continue to! I will not be able to truly grasp all of the hard work that you put into this family until I create my own one day. But, I know that there are plenty of times I forgot to give you a simple thank you or an appreciative smile. I thank you for everything that you have done for me and will continue to do for me. Here are some examples of those times where you had my back and I forgot to pat your back for saving me:

College is hard. As people ages 18-22, we’re just trying to figure out what we’re doing with our lives, our careers, our eating habits, exercise routines, sleep patterns, and other necessities for adult life. We definitely don’t take proper care of ourselves; it’s basically impossible when we have essays, tests and readings due and somehow we’re supposed to eat right, exercise and sleep. We’re doomed to get sick. I have zero experience in science but when I get sick there are certain things I do to make myself better.
