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!

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.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
