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.

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?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
