So You're A Business Or Mass Comm Major

Ah yes, you're a business or mass communications major. Every major is unique, however, there are some distinct characteristics that set us apart from others. Every major is different and not everyone is the same, but I am willing to bet a majority of these situations and characteristics apply, regardless of your track or university.

  1. Everyone asks what you 'intend to do with that.'
  2. Free time is just a word.
  3. Everyone asks you for help with school.
  4. People ask you to read their resumes.
  5. You're self-motivated.

  6. You're well-rounded.
  7. You can talk or 'network' with anyone.
  8. You’ve been told your degree is worthless and you really just need internships.
  9. Your Linked-in profile is flawless.
  10. You're expected to go to school, have an unpaid internship, and work another job for spending money.
  11. Giving presentations is a daily task.
  12. You know MLA, APA, and Chicago style like nobody's business.
  13. You understand the news.
  14. Friends expect you to explain the news to them.
  15. The stock market scroll still intimidates you even though you see it everyday.

  16. You know what business casual means.
  17. You enjoy shows like "Sharktank," "The Profit," "Bar," "Rescue," etc.

The entire cosmos is included in this creation myth, not just the earth but the sun and the moon as well. This will be a short retelling, a summary of the creation myth, somewhat like I did with Hermod's ride to Hel.

8tracks radio

We all scroll through the radio stations in the car every once in a while, whether its because we lost signal to our favorite one or we are just bored with the same ol' songs every day. You know when you're going through and you hear a song where you're just like "I forgot this existed!" and before you know it, you're singing every word? Yeah, me too. Like, 95% of the time. If you're like me and LOVE some good throwback music, here's a list of songs from every genre that have gotten lost in time, but never truly forgotten.
