11 Signs You Should Switch Majors
Viktor Hanacek

One of the biggest decisions of your college career is declaring a major. Many of us are struggling between two (or more) majors. You’re just kidding yourself if you think you can make yourself fit into any other major if you have experienced these 11 things. Here are signs that you should definitely switch.

1. Your professor from last semester introduces you to the department chair in the dining hall.

In case you didn’t know, this is who will sign your declaration form.

2. You struggle not to write too much on the essay exam.

You might have been a little bit too thorough for the time limit.

3. You smash the curve for everyone else in your class.

But you keep that on the down low because everyone else is taking their exams like

4. All your friends ask you for help on their homework.

And some random classmates too.

5. You don’t need to pay attention in class.

But you go anyway because you enjoy it--even when your classmates are dropping like flies.

6. The textbook doesn’t tell you anything you don’t already know.

But you bought it anyway and read it for fun.

7. You’re chummy with all the professors in the department.

Even if you haven’t taken one of their classes yet.

8. You decide to stop answering questions in class unless things get desperate.

Answering them all just starts to feel obnoxious.

9. Your parents start treating you like an expert.

They ask you for advice after you’ve only taken one class in the field.

10. Your favorite class is not in your current field.

If you hate your required courses, you might have chosen the wrong major.

11. After your final exam, your professor asks you yet again if you are going to major.

Finally, you give in.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. 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.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
