10 Things You Know If You Are a BCA Major

http://departementcamera.tv/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/DEP_Photo_06-optimized.jpg

1. You live in Moore Hall

Moore isn't just a place for classes, it is a place for studying, late night projects, hanging out with friends..etc. Basically, you should have your mail forwarded there. Everything you could possibly need is contained within Moore, and you wouldn't have it any other way.

2. You analyze movies and TV Shows

Watching TV and or Movies isn't the same anymore. You watch reality TV and just know that the producer is telling them what to do. It's a lie. It's all a lie.

3. You still don't really know how to run the TD Board in Anspach

Okay, like, I understand what each button does, but sometimes I click a few buttons at once, and something happens, and somehow we are on camera 3. We were really trying to just get to Camera 1, I swear. Then we will jump around and go across Camera 2, back to Camera 3, then finally land on Camera 1, when the next shot is not Camera 1. It's fine, we all still did pretty well in 220.

4. You say things like:

"I shot that!" "I forgot my adaptor" "I forgot my headphones" "I left my flash drive in the computer again" "My voice sounds weird" "Want to be in my video?"

5. You can write Ad's like nobody's business.

I know how to write a tag line in my sleep. What audience are we catering to? Middle aged women? I've got this.

6. You are kind of sick of Social Media

Like yeah, we all got our personal ones, but after a class of sitting and learning how things are trending, and example after example, it can get repetitive.

7. You get singled out at job fairs, and it's fantastic

You go to Central Michigan? How do you like the program? I've heard it's one of the best in the Midwest! Can I keep this Resume?

8. You get to meet cool people

Connections connections connections. If you've had an internship, worked on MHTV, either of the radio stations, or even on late night projects, you know that sometimes the coolest people, are those that are working on the same things as you.

9. We have some pretty amazing alumni.

News anchors, actors, musicians, Larry Joe Campbell, and hey even Tim Allen, was part of our program for a semester.

10. We are all a big BCA family.

You need an adaptor? I got you. Yeah, you can interview me for a project! I know, I don't get how to put this portfolio together either. What even is this?

Things People Without A Typical 'Boy Name' or 'Girl Name' Know To Be True

All names should be "unisex names."

Tulane University

1128

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

14 Things The Extremely Pale Are Tired Of Hearing

I get it... I'm pale.

University of Vermont

2556

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
