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.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
