The 10 Best Majors For Slytherins

Being a Slytherin in modern society puts a major stigma against anything you might want to do. So here are 10 majors that will take you on very Slytherin life paths, without (much) of an evil stigma.

Business

Its part of the nature of Slytherins to want to be in charge of powerful things and what better way to do that than to be the CEO of a large company?

Chemistry

Going straight up book for this one. Potions = Chemistry

Political Science

Politics is right up the average Slytherin's alley. Combining the ability to advance and standing for a belief system creates an irresistible combination for any power hungry person.

Communications

Communications can lead to a lot of diverse things, but mainly jobs in the media. Working in the media is great because it is an easy way to be able to twist an agenda to point out or ignore certain plots. Very Slytherin.

Law

Being able to use the law for one's own gain is probably one of the most Slytherin things I can think of. No matter what a Slytherin does, they always come out on top.

Sociology

Sociology is the study of how people act in groups. A cunning Slytherin will know that group mentality is important to knowing how to control people.

History

One of the core things about Slytherins is that they don't want to make the same mistakes twice. And how does one learn from their mistakes? By studying History. A history major could easily lead to teaching history which is a great way to shape new minds into believing something.

Theatre

A Slytherin always needs to be ready to act and lie at a moments notice. Whether it's getting a lead or covering up a plot, the theater is the place to be.

Physics

Just imagine being so devoted to doing just one thing that most people say is impossible, like wanting to fly. The only way to accomplish this goal would be to learn every about the supposed "reasons" you can't and changing them. Changing the laws of physics quite ambitious.

Psychology

To know how a person thinks and be able to predict it can and will lead to a better working knowledge of said person. Of course, all knowledge gained should only be used for the greater good.


Naturally, anyone who considers themselves a Slytherin probably already has some indication of what they want. Even if it is as broad as 'nothing with blood', like it is for me. And of course, this is by no means a comprehensive list. I'm sure that any Slytherin has the ability to make any major suit their needs.

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.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
