There are always arguments over whether or not art majors or STEM majors are "better" or "more useful." No matter which side you take on that, if you're an arts major you can definitely agree that being around a bunch of STEM students can be hella awkward, and you may encounter one or more of these situations.

1. They'll be discussing their tough exams, and you can't remember the last time you had one.

You'll probably get a lot of side-eye from them at first for this one, but then you explain that instead of exams you write a lot of papers, or go through critiques.

2. They'll use a lot of words you won't understand...

All you remember from high school biology is that the mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell.

3. ...but there are plenty of words of yours that they won't get.

We all have our own little sets of vocabulary.

4. You may feel like you're less intelligent because you aren't a science student.

This isn't true! We're all good at different things, and you just chose to pursue a different math than them. Intelligence isn't measured by which major you chose.

5. You'll probably get asked what you want to do with your degree.

But then again, you get that from everyone.

6. They may think your degree is "easier" than theirs.

Again, intelligence is not measured by major. The workload may be a bit different, but not really able to be compared, considering you're comparing two totally different subjects.

7. You can definitely help each other out!

Stuck on a tough math problem? Talk to a math major. Need help editing your paper? Ask an English major. We all bring different things to the table.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
