Your Chosen Major and its Stereotype

Your Chosen Major and its Stereotype

One of the biggest jokes of college may have to be picking your major. Who's really going to use their major after college anyways..?

The typical Communications major: 

You loooove social media! In it for the likes! Communications majors are always out because they have so much free time, but part of their major includes being social right? So really going out is part of their studies. Being unemployed after graduation isn't a concern, because they always have their "Mrs. Degree" to fall back on.

The "Pre-Med" major:

Well, pre-med isn't actually a major, but at least it makes you sound smart. Credit is awarded to these science nerds though for majoring in something awful like Biology or Bio-Chem-No-one-cares-istry. Their favorite line is, "sorry, I can't, I have lab...." But hey when you're a successful Doctor all those missed Frat Parties will be totally worth it.

Theater Majors:

Because they are all going to make it to Broadway right? These people loooove drama, and being fake...almost as much as they love spending their four years of college learning nothing, but they are destined to be a star so it doesn't matter.

The Brainy Psychology Major:

Loves to listen to other people's problems and looooves pretending they can fix people's issues. Psychology majors are typically weird brain loving people. Don't worry though because if you ever want to be over analyzed they've got it covered!

The "I just want to be a Teacher" Major:

What do you even do in class, play with play-dough? How hard can these classes even be? But on the bright side, I'm sure you have a lot of free time now to go out! You must realllllly love school if you want to spend the rest of your life there receiving nothing much in return.

 The "I'm pre-law" Major:

Again, this isn't a major...but they will probably try to argue it is. These students tend to think they are always correct and superior to everyone else. Acting in-charge is definitely one of their hobbies. Easily recognizable by the nicely dressed guy at the library at 2am, or the Elle Woods wanna-bees. 



International Business Major:

Because they hate America. " Once I graduate, I'm moving to Italy." They dream of casually strolling the streets of their new foreign country with a cappuccino in one hand, and their new foreign soul mate on the other. 

The ever popular - Business Major:

Basically, "I didn't know what to major in so I picked business because it applies to everyone." Just about every Frat Star is a business major, so how hard can it be?

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
