As an entrepreneurship major, I can safely say, classes are tough, opportunities are hard to find, and life is hard. I have been reflecting on my time here at Kent State as a business major and here are 7 gifs to help demonstrate my thoughts.

1. You in microeconomics.

Microeconomics is hell. If you understand what is going on then I think that you are a genius. Or you're satan. Seriously, what is this class? The first day of lecture, my professor told me that most of us would barely pass and the rest of us would fail or drop the class. Great motivation!

2. Trying to navigate the business building.


This building reminds me of the Denver Airport. I wouldn't be surprised if some of those stairwells lead to nothing. There is too much going on, all of the time. Where is the computer lab? No clue. International business office? Third floor, but good luck. It's in a dark corner you'll only be able to find one time. Meanwhile, all of the junior and senior business students look at you like you're a scared little puppy. And well, you are. Just help me, please.

3. Having some of the best advisors.


To my fellow business majors: you know this one is true. Every single one of those amazing people are so willing to help and so excited to see you succeed. They will do everything for you and will do anything to support you. And, also, they let me use their stapler one time so basically the nicest people alive.

4. Dr. Reynolds for dropping your lowest exam.


Did you really think I was done with talking about microeconomics? Never. This dude is amazing. Even though he's so blunt and will never sugarcoat anything, he doesn't make you pay for anything. Seriously. No clicker, no website to submit answers, not even a textbook. And to top it all off, he drops your lowest exam grade. Thanks for saving my life, Dr. Reynolds.

5. That hike to the business building from the residential halls.


Listen. The struggle is real. First of all, the campus is hilly. Second of all, there is no good route to get there. Good luck, you'll need it. And also, there is no safe way to enter that building. Don't get hit by a car. You'll have a few close calls, trust me.

6. Telling people you're a business major.

"Aren't they all kind of the same?" "What are you even going to do with an entrepreneurship degree?" "Anyone can do business." Really, Karen? Well, then do my financial accounting homework and then after that study for microeconomics, a class I don't understand and then after that write an essay for speaker series that's due weekly. Just treat everyone with respect. Every major is hard in its own way. And by the way, they aren't all the same, Karen. Get your facts right.

7. Being a boss.


You endure so much, but you are pursuing something that makes you happy. Don't worry. We have tough classes and a hell of a building, but also a great program that won't fail us!

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

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!

The 5 Painfully True Stages Of Camping Out At The Library

For those long nights that turn into mornings when the struggle is real.

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.
