Just like all majors, a communication major comes with its own set of unique struggles, from video equipment woes to less-than-ideal classroom placement. Here are 18 struggles all AU comm majors will understand.

P.S. Shout out to my fellow comm major friends for helping me out with this. Ya'll are the best.

1. When all your classes are in Watkins basement

2. Or for some reason, on the 3rd floor of Merritt so you gotta hike up the stairs

3. When you need a certain class to graduate and there’s only one section offered with like 2 seats left

4. When you have to lug your video equipment around campus

5. When your video is finally filmed and you realize the mic died halfway through and you have no audio

6. When someone asks how long you spent in the media lab editing

7.When Adobe Premiere Pro turns on you

8. When Web Design makes zero sense but you're trying to stay calm

9. When someone asks what you're gonna do with your major since "it's so broad"

10. When you're a senior but the definition of PR is still elusive

11. When your non-comm major friends always ask you to revise their papers

12. When you struggle to form a coherent sentence and seriously question what you are doing with your life

13. When you constantly analyze social interactions based on interpersonal and communication theories

14. When you hate drama but realize your entire career is crisis management

15. When you have to learn about pathos, logos, and ethos again

16. When you gotta look something up in the AP stylebook and it turns into an awful scavenger hunt

17. When you have to give a speech in Rhetoric

18. When someone tries to say your major is "easy"
