Stop hating on different majors, people.

Yes, My Major Matters
EMAZE

Too many people criticize college students majors in today's world. If you are anything that doesn't fall under a certain category of math or science you are expected to either have excellent grades or all the free time in the world. As a communications major, I see it way too often. I strongly believe there are people out there that think students choose the majors they do because of the workload levels. Do you think I chose my major because it is easier than Engineering? No, I chose it because it's what I want to do for the rest of my life. I apologize that my interests don't fall under the same category as yours.

Regardless of your major, minor, etc., college is college. Everyone has the same 124 credit hours to graduate, the homework, the studying, and the finals. Just because someone's major might not seem as difficult, doesn't mean they are not working their ass off in order to succeed. You're right, an advertising major does not do the same things as an electrical engineer major, but I would never say any major is "easy" because of the lack of math and science courses required to take.

All majors are so completely different and require so many different skills, that it is irrelevant to compare one to another. Education majors do not do even an ounce of the same thing that nursing majors do. Same goes for accounting majors and sports com majors. So why are you comparing them?

Looking at the big picture, everyone owes respect to one another's major. Putting down someone's major is putting down what that person is passionate about and what they are skilled in. So next time you want to say someones major is "easy" or "unemployable", think about why you truly chose your major and realize that they are in the same boat by picking a major that they care about and want to do for the rest of their life.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
