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!
