12 Things Only Social Work Majors Understand

We all know one of them. They're kind, overly generous, sometimes a little too right about everything. If you have a Social Worker in your life, or someone who is currently studying Social Work, then you are a lucky soul. These are the guys who have a passion for people, and that includes you.

1. In all of your Social Work classes, you come out feeling a sense of accomplishment after a good conversation with other Social work majors.


2. Or you just feel sad because you’ve realized there are so many good things to do and you’re just one person.


3. You’re usually the one your friends go to if they want good, solid advice.



4. Because they know you’ll always give them the truth, as well as a plan of action.


5. And you’re always calm under pressure.


6. If someone has a difference of opinion, you’re really good at hearing them out.


7. But you’re even better at keeping your own opinions to yourself.


8. People are constantly asking you to do things because they know you won’t say no.

9. And also because they know you won’t do anything without doing it right.


10. The phrase “the shirt off my back” is not really that ridiculous to you, because you’ve probably actually given someone the shirt off of your back.


11. You’re always the one choking back tears at the semi-emotional ‘In the arms of the angels’ commercials.


12. You love people. Even when you hate them, you love them.

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!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of 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.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
