10 Signs You're A Communications Major
Know Your Memes

1). All of your finals are essays.

Sure, your friends might be cramming for exams, but you're over here frantically writing a 10 page paper that was assigned Wednesday and due Friday of the same week. Urgghh.


2). Group video projects don't actually suck.

Finally, a group of people that can actually speak in front of a camera and have some kind of creative talent!


3). Neither do peer reviews.

Gone are the days in high school where the kid that is into math reviews your paper. He may be good with math, but if he didn't know the difference between accept and except in his own essay you can't count on his review of your paper being any good.


4). You can't enjoy a good commercial anymore.

I see your persuasive tactics Doritos!!


5). Your friends come to you for essay revisions.

You might as well work as an editor at this point.



6). No one is exactly sure what you're planning to do for the rest of your life.

So do you wanna be a journalist? An editor? An author? A speechwriter? A broadcaster? A news anchor? A blogger? The list goes on for miles.



7). At least one of your friends is addicted to puns.

And all of them are tearable.



8). You can't persuade your Profs to do anything.

Why? Because you learned all of the persuasive appeals you're about to use in their class.


9). You think it's a joke when you get an essay assignment from a core class.

Psh, 6 pages are nothing compared to what I've done!



10). You have found friends that share a common hatred for grammatically incorrect billboards.

You're means YOU ARE. Your means YOUR.

1. When course schedules are released and you have a conflict between two required classes.

Bonus points if it is more than two.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

April Ludgate

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
