You Know You're a Communication Major When....
Mia Wiersema

Being a communication major is an interesting choice. Whether you choose it because people are your thing and you're super extroverted, or because your indecisive and can choose to do almost anything with it, there is really no wrong reason for being a communications major. And just like any other field of study, it has its ups and downs. Check out the following ten points if you are a communications major and see if you can relate:

1. You ask yourself, "hanging out with people actually counts as my major right?"

Will you just give me at least 1 credit hour?


2. You can persuade your professors to let you do anything

Thank you for allowing me to convince you to let us have a group test. You are the real MVP.


3. You dread taking math and science classes

2+2=5, right?


4. Group projects are your life

You fail, I fail. So lets not fail.


5. You tell your partner to just stand their and look pretty for your speech

Don't you worry. I got everything under control.


6. You can rock any interview you have

Talking about nonsense, yet still sounding like you know what you're talking about.


7. If you hear the phrase "cognitive dissonance" one more time, you will leave class

*Currently having cognitive dissonance with this class.


8. You hear, "Are you going to be a news anchor one day?" at least twice a week

We aren't media communications, we talk to people. Not at cameras.


9. Still don't know what you're doing post-graduation.

Talking to people is an every day function. I'm set!


10. You love people. That's why you chose this major in the first place.

Yes. I am an extrovert. That's why I'm here.

So communication majors, know that you're not alone. These are all normal occurrences that happen to all of us. Truly, one of the best thing about being a communication major is that you get to know everyone and they become your family, even if you only see them in class (because taking interpersonal communication brought out the worse in all of us). Between the many discussions and presentations, we still have so much to learn from each others. Lets keep it rolling communication majors!

The Post Thanksgiving Panic And Anxiety

It happens to all of us, the weeks between Thanksgiving and Christmas the catch up with you.

Thanksgiving Break is most likely everyone’s favorite break during the fall semester. You get to go home and reminisce with all your high school friends. That diet you’ve been on for the past month goes out the window, and you get to eat until you put yourself into a food coma. There’s no rush on homework and you can just lie in bed and Netflix to your heart’s content. To me that sounds like an ideally wonderful break, and totally stress-free.

Even Shonda Rhimes, winning creator and executive producer of the hit TV shows Grey's Anatomy, Private Practice, Scandal, How to Get Away with Murder, and The Catch agrees that relationships with fictional characters are real. In her book, The Year of Yes she states, "I have spent more time with Meredith and Christina then many of my actual friends...When you watched TV, even spending a full hour with Christina once a week, you were likely spending more time with her then you spent with most people in your life. That relationship was real."

Going to the gym and working out on a daily basis (with breaks once in awhile) has been a great way for me to feel good about myself. It is 100% more than just looking good. Especially after starting college and having the stress and anxiety of tests, assignments, and just figuring out my future, the gym at my school has definitely been a place of relief for me and I have numerous reasons of why everyone should push themselves to get to the gym when they can.
