12 Things That All Double Majors Understand

Being a double major has its pros and cons. On the one hand, you become more of a well rounded student because you are focusing on two different academic disciplines, but on the other hand, you are driving yourself insane by having to do so much more work than your single-major friends. There are things that only double majors understand, and here are 12 of those things that all double majors understand:

1. Your biggest problem is that your advisors get jealous of each other all the time.

2. You when your single-major friends say that they have a ton of homework:

3. When someone asks you what your major is, you almost feel ashamed to tell them that you are a double major because you don't want people to think that this is what you are actually saying:

4. This is you every night from Sunday–Thursday:

5. This is you from Friday–Saturday:

6. There are weeks where you barely have any homework...

7. ...But then there are weeks where you have an exam (and/or quiz), a paper and other assignments for each class. This is you on these weeks:

8. If you are a double major at a liberal arts college, then you aren't a double major. You are, however, a triple major because the number of core classes that you have to take basically add up to the amount of courses you'd have to take for any given major.

9. But being a double major is very rewarding because you become a more well rounded student.

10. It also will help you stand out in a professional (or graduate) school and/or job application pool.

11. You are never able to finish every reading assignment, so Sparknotes and GradeSaver are your best friends.

12. But you could never go back to being a single major because you could never get used to the single-major life ever again.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
