So as a Communications major, suffice to say my major can get a little boring. With a lot of broad classes focused on how to effectively communicate with society, my only really interesting classes are my electives. For those of you who are also struggling with the Communications major blues, or anything of the like, check out these fun majors that you could totally change to if you're looking for something a little more...... interesting.

1. Auctioneering

Offered at Harrisburg Area Community College, this major is exactly what it sounds like- your chance to learn how to become an auctioneer. In addition to learning the language and speed of the auctioneer's speech, you also learn about the pricing and appeasing of different items.

2. Bowling Industry Management and Technology

Who knew bowling required a college degree? At Vincennes University, you'll learn all the that goes into the wonders of bowling. Classes include, “Lane and Pinsetter Maintenance,” “Pro Shop Operations and Essentials," to name a few.

3. Comedy

For those of you with a funny bone, Emerson College may be just the place to transfer to! In it's early stages, the four-year Comedic Arts program include the history of comedy all the way up to how to perfect current comedic sketches.

4. Professional Nannying

Sullivan University offers this kid-friendly course. In addition to learning the essentials, such as CPR and basic First Aid, students will learn how to entertain different age groups. This program turns babysitters into professionals!

5. Theme Park Engineering

While this degree may require a lot of mind-numbing engineering classes, it's all in good fun! Offered at California State University Long Beach, this course allows engineers to add a little fun into their studies.

6. Fermentation Sciences

While all your friends are out spending money on cheap beer, you can learn how to make your own. Appalachian State University allows students the chance to learn the history and cultural impact of wine fermentation and brewing, along with the mechanics of it.

7. Adventure Education

Learn how to embrace the outdoors and apply it to self-discovery and personal growth through this degree at Plymouth State University. With classes like Wilderness Expedition and Whitewater Kayaking, this degree is sure to impress.

8. Entertainment Engineering and Design


What better place to learn about the entertainment industry than Sin City? University of Nevada Las Vegas teaches how to participate in the business side of casinos, and also how to design gambling games that stump people.

9. Canadian Studies

Ever been curious about your neighbors up north? Well, you can learn anything and everything about them at Duke University, Johns Hopkins University, SUNY Plattsburgh or University of Vermont. Learn about the history and culture of Canada.

10. The Beatles

If you're looking to make a jump across the pond, Liverpool Hope University may be the home for you. Studying arguably the most iconic musicians of all time, this degree teaches not only the history of the Beatles, but their influences on culture and society.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?
