How You Know You Are A Communications Student

People love to categorize themselves: hipster or basic, athlete or mathlete, Greek or GDI. But perhaps the most important identifier a person can flaunt on a college campus is his or her major. After all, "undeclared" says just as much about a person as "pre-med" does. These academic categories don't define us, but they do explain us. If you're in the communications school at the University of Miami, this should explain a lot.

1. You're a people person.

2. You're a dreamer, but you don't sleep.

3. You love seeing your name in print.

4. You're creative.

5. Your schedule is awesome.


" Writing for Series Television is a class?!"

6. However, you spend most of your time working on extracurriculars.

Because portfolio > resume.

7. Your phone notes are filled with random lists and thoughts.

If you don't write it down, you'll forget it.

8. You understand the value of a red lot parking pass.

9. You've memorized the equipment room schedule.

10. Your social media platforms are well put-together.

11. You secretly wish the Communications School courtyard had a fountain.


Is it too late to switch to the Business School?

12. You've been late to class while waiting for a Half Moon coffee in the courtyard.

"I've got to see this through."

13. You can't trust yourself enough to do basic arithmetic without a phone calculator.

Admit it. Your math skills have worsened significantly since you wrapped up that last STEM requirement.

14. But you're still the most tech savvy of your friends.

15. Your Comm school friends are all really talented and supportive, and you love them for it.

16. Your teachers could easily be your best friends.

Also, your advisor is your part-time therapist.

17. You take your work personally.

18. And you are constantly working on some project.

Let's be honest. You're working on at least three to five projects right now.

19. You work well in groups.


Assuming you actually get everyone's schedules to match up.

20. You feel like the coolest person alive when you're filming in the studios.

Because you are.

21. You love what you do.

You do what you love.

22. You're ready to be successful.

While also mentally preparing yourself to serve time as a starving artist / mailroom intern / minimum wage connoisseur before making it big.

23. And you can totally rock a black leather jacket.

Dress for success.

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?
