It takes a special and unique person to major in media. Whether it be broadcast journalism, converged broadcast media, or radio/television/film, you're all friendly, dedicated, hard-working, and always ready to jump in front of a camera.

You're the ones who weren't the greatest at core classes in high school. Physics? No thanks. Statistics? No way. While you didn't have the highest grades in math and science, you had straight A's in art and theater.

Even if you've been a media major for barely a semester, you've probably noticed that your classmates stand out. Here are some ways you and your peers are different from students in other majors.

Everyone has similar personalities. Media majors are almost too outgoing for their own good. They never meet a stranger. Some classes even feel more like parties because of everyone's vibrant personalities.

Your fellow media majors are your family away from home. You all have been in the same classes or organizations (sometimes both) since freshman year. They pick you up when you're down, bring you deodorant if you forget to put some on, and are faithful attendees of your parties.

Everyone dresses to impress. "Lazy days" are almost nonexistent. Especially for broadcast students. They are always camera-ready. You never know when a chance to get a good clip for your reel will arise.

Competition exists, but more importantly, we encourage each other. Of course we're competitive--we have to be if we strive to be in the media industry. But more than that, we want each other to succeed. Even if your peer got the internship you both applied for, they can potentially be a good connection to have later on.

You all overbook ourselves. What is free time? You're either in class, working, on a TV shoot, doing homework, or hosting a radio show on campus. You spend the little free time you do have sleeping.

You never have to worry about finding help with an assignment. You all truly are in it together. Need someone to hold the boom mic on a shoot? Someone's got you covered. Need a camera operator? Don't even sweat it.
