What Your College Major Says About You

I've noticed that students in a particular major share certain characteristics. I'm here to use my superb psychic powers to read your mind based on your choice of major.

Okay, rather than being a weather predicting psychic like Karen, there is actually a science to this. Recently a study has been released stating that your choice in college major may reveal information about your true personality. What does your major say about your personality?

1. Pharmacy/Pharmacology

You probably made straight As in high school thanks to your awesome photographic memory. You're a practical person, however, you don't quite know what you truly want to do with your life. You chose this major for the sole fact that the starting wage for a pharmacist is amazing and job security is extremely high.

2. Marketing Communications

You're the life of the party and social is your middle name! You party and when you go, you go hard. You fall behind, but you always find a way to play catch-up and pull out an A. You probably started out as a math or history major but quickly changed your mind when you realized that the upper level classes constricted your creative side.

3. Pre-Law/Political Science

You practically planned your own birth. Every aspect of your day is carefully planned out and written down in your Lilly Pulitzer planner. You even have a 55-year career plan. Nothing gets past you. You're extremely critical of government structures and have a very strong stance on your political views.

4. Art

Pinterest is no challenge for you. Your little was thrilled when she saw her dorm filled with your artsy crafts and your coolers always come out perfect. You're a free spirit and your style is one of a kind. However, finding a job scares you. You're frequented by the question "what do you actually plan to do with an Art degree?" at holiday gatherings and family dinner.

5. Math

Shopping for deals is a personal favorite for you and you're probably an extreme couponer. Calculating percentages off, sales taxes, and additional discounts are a piece of cake. You're frequently annoyed when people round up. Precision is everything.

6. Biology

You're probably an aspiring doctor or animal researcher. Growing up, you had a fascination for animals. You have goals and expect to make them. Studying is your specialty and your brain is frequently used by others as a tutor. You're also an unofficial doctor who people seek before they spend money on a doctor. Your diagnosis can usually be trusted.

7. Astronomy

You have always been inquisitive of the world. You frequently ask "Why?" and will not cease to find out. You can comprehend concepts that are out of this world. You inform your friends about each star and constellation above you in the night sky, however, they normally are completely uninterested. "Big Bang Theory" is also one of your favorite TV shows and Sheldon totally gets you.You check your horoscope daily. However, when it comes to finding a post graduation job... who even hires astronomers?

8. English

You started reading well before other children and your reading level eventually surpassed the books that your elementary school was able to provide. You enjoy interpreting art, lyrics, poetry, and other subjects. You believe there is always a deeper meaning to what people say. English is probably not your only major and you also have a frequent online shopping habit.

9. Business

Young Entrepreneur at heart. You were president of your DECA team in high school. You're a natural born leader. You tend to be a bit cocky, but whats not to love? You're awesome. You seek versatility in your future and aspire to be a Fortune 500 CEO.

10. Chemistry/Physics

You're an odd one, aren't you? You're an extremely smart person. You're willing to spend the extra hours studying because you know that it will pay off eventually. Your degree offers much versatility giving you many money making opportunities after graduation. You were probably great at the sciences and math in high school. And when it comes to making things explode, boom, or catch fire... you're usually the one people seek.

11. Psychology

You enjoy knowing how people think and react in situations. You are a master manipulator, even in your early age. You probably aspire to do something pertaining to "CSI" or "Law and Order" (your favorite shows), but let's face it, the real reason you're here is for the party and the easy A.

12. Kinesiology/Nutrition/Pre-Physical Therapy

"CROSS FIT IS LYFE" is probably written loud and proud on your Instagram biography. Living a healthy life is incredibly important to you and you encourage others to join your lifestyle. College life suppresses your healthy lifestyle but somehow you manage to make it as nutritional as possible (we don't know how). You're also sought after by others for dieting advice. And yes, you know that the guacamole is extra.

13. Criminal Justice

Your dream is for justice to be served to all. You have a very strong stance on political issues surrounding domestic issues. More than likely, you're currently enrolled in your school's ROTC program or aspiring to be a police officer, investigator, or even a district attorney. You enjoy binge watching dramas on Netflix.

14. Philosophy

You're a thinker. You admire education and knowledge. Intellect is the main criteria when looking for a significant other. You're probably a member of multiple honor societies and educational fraternities. You also have a love for wine and expensive whiskey.

15. Fashion/Merchandising

You've worked retail ever since you were able to have a job. You appreciate when things have a particular order and your closet proves it. Upcycling fashion is a frequent hobby and you know the importance of quality over quantity. You also probably have a fashion blog of some sort or a high amount of Instagram followers.

16. Education

You are vibrant and joyful. Smiling is a daily habit for you. Your compassionate heart makes you see the good in each individual. You've never quite had trouble making new friends even though you can come off as a bit shy when meeting someone new. You've got killer handwriting and are always the one to write in group projects.

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.
