What Will You Do With That Major?
US News

Have you ever been asked, "what are you going to do with that?" There are a plethora of different majors at every college for students to pick through and do exactly what they like. Southern New Hampshire University has diverse majors from business, and education, all the way to video game designing, to creative writing. All of these majors, whether or not they are similar to every university, or unique to only some have many students interested in them. An interesting major that is unique to Southern New Hampshire University is Creative Writing.

Creative Writing is one of those majors in which people ask, "what are you going to do with that?" There are many options for those who study in the creative writing field. For instance, becoming a published author is the big goal many students in this major have. Succeeding at this goal is possible, but more difficult without training and networking that school provides.



Just because english majors cannot go off and run their own companies, or art majors cannot become a scientist, or a doctor with their majors doesn't mean they can't find an equally successful job. English majors can do what they love, and even make it big. They can publish their work, they can teach, they can work in publishing houses, write for magazines, become reviewers, because there are a plethora of jobs designed for english majors.

Students go to school to do something with their lives, they go to school to become educated, and to later find a job within that field. Why would this process be any different for english and creative writing majors? At the end of our schooling we are off to find the same thing everyone else has. A career.

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.

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.
