Five Ways Of Knowing You're An Accounting Major

Being an accounting major has its positives and negatives, but overall, many of us couldn't see ourselves anywhere else. Here are five ways of knowing you're an accounting major with the help of TV's favorite accountant, Ben Wyatt (Adam Scott), from "Parks and Recreation."


1. When people ask you why you are an accounting major.

Yes, we do like math and we are good at adding and subtracting. We are just good at it.


2. When you finally finish the problem you have been working on for hours because of a small mistake.

When finishing long problems, even the tiniest error can ruin what you are working on. Everything must balance and it's torture trying to backtrack, but it feels like the light bulb went off when you do figure it out.


3. You feel the need to help others with accounting related problems.

Let's face it, we have all pulled excel up and started trying to figure out ways to save money for ourselves and others.


4. The feeling you get when you finish a full cycle problem.

Full cycle problems can take hours to complete, and if you make the tiniest mistake, your whole packet won't make sense.


5. How you feel walking into one of five exams for the semester.

You stand outside the room with everyone else and all go, Does anyone understand what's going on?" Now you hope for the greatest curve you can get to still pass the class.


Calc-you-later!

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.

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.
