Some college students choose to double major while completing their undergraduate career. While this is definitely not an easy endeavor, every motivated student has their own set of reasons for deciding to step up to the challenge of successfully completing two degrees in the same amount of time that it typically takes to complete one. Sometimes, to an outsider, the two majors seem connected and other times, the two majors may seem to be polar opposites.

No matter what the outsider's perspective is, here are 16 things that all double majors are tired of hearing.

1. "You're a double major so that must mean you are really smart."

I'm not going to sit here and tell you that I am "really smart" merely because I am stepping up to the challenge of being a double major.

2. "Why would you want to create more work for yourself?"

College is a place to learn and instill the realms of knowledge that you are passionate about into real life. I'm not creating more work for myself, rather I am feeding my passion for knowledge.

3. "So this tells me that you find it difficult to make a decision."

Um... no not at all. This tells you that I'm passionate about two areas of study and made the decision to immerse myself within them both.

4. "Those majors don't even connect."

Actually, through constructing an interdisciplinary path of education, I have come to the conclusion that my majors do connect.

5. "What do you plan to do with these degrees?"

This question is applicable to all college students, not limited to those who are choosing to double major.

6. "Which program is your favorite?"

Obviously, I don't have a favorite or else I would only have one major!

7. "You probably have no free time."

Yeah, let's not talk about that.

8. "It must be really hard to double major."

It's actually more common than most people generally think.

9. "Are you planning on completing an internship with both programs?"

10. "So what's your minor?"

I don't have one.

11. "You must think you're better than everyone else because you have two majors."

I can't even believe people actually say this.

12. "How do you get everything done?"

The same way that any college student gets anything done...

13. "Alright, so you must not put your best effort in one program to compensate for merely getting the work accomplished for two majors, right?"

Wrong.

14. "Do you really want to do this?"

I wouldn't have made it this far if I didn't want to...

15. "Which subject area do you plan on using for your career?"

16. "So you actually love learning?"

Yes!
