What Christmas Tradition You Are Based On Your Major

Leave the performances to the Theatre and Music majors and the cards to the Communications majors.

Christmas has many traditions dear to our hearts. Here is what tradition you would be, based on your College major!

1. Anthropology – Decorating

Why are we putting greenery inside of the house? Why is Christmas in December when we know Jesus was not born then? Why do we have Christmas at all? Anthropology majors will tell you while decorating the house as people have been doing for centuries.

2. Political Science – Getting the Family Together

A calm, level head and the ability to remember all of your family’s plans and problems is needed to organize who is going where when and bringing what for Christmas. Political Science majors have experience dealing with BS keeping everything straight from Bills being passed in congress and what exactly the rules for campaign finance are, so keeping their family members straight shouldn’t be too hard for them.

3. Theatre – Christmas Pageants

Theatre majors would take any advantage to be on stage, so the annual Christmas pageant is a good chance to show off everything they have learned as some of the most iconic roles of all time! Maybe save the tap-dancing for later, though.

4. Business – Buying Gifts

Business majors should be in charge of buying gifts. They are in the major that actually deals with money (I’m looking at you, Economics) and they should know how to spend responsibly. Everyone send your Christmas lists to them!

5. Math – Baking Cookies

If you live in my house, hundreds of cookies need to be mixed, baked, and frosted before Christmas can really happen. Only Math majors will be able to handle the sheer quantity of the number of cookies as they are approaching infinity. The limit does not exist.

6. Communications – Sending Christmas Cards

Communications is all about connections and talking to people. They won’t forget Great Aunt Sue or your second-cousin Gil’s son when sending out the cards of you all dressed in matching sweaters and Santa hats.

7. Physics – Snowball Fights

Physics majors will not at exactly what force and trajectory to throw the snowball so it hits their opponents at the optimum speed and placement. You can’t lose with a Physics major on your team (theoretically.)

8. Pre-Med – Food Comas

Picture this: December 26th, a decimated plate of leftovers in front of you, wrapping paper scraps scattered around you, pajamas squeezing you too tightly. Who do you want to take care of you? A Philosophy major who will want to talk about the intentions behind gift giving and what they say about society? Or do you want a Pre-Med major who probably has some Pepto. Your call.

9. Environmental Science – Getting the Tree

If you’re an Environmental Science major, you must love trees. At Christmas, you get to keep one INSIDE. It must be the best thing in the world for them. Enjoy your trees, Environmental Science majors.

10. Fashion – Getting Dressed Up

From your fancy dinner outfit to your ugliest Christmas sweater, Fashion majors have got it covered and can tell you if light up reindeer are “in” this Holiday season. They’ll roll up to any Holiday party looking fierce af and we’ll all be jealous and copy their style.

11. History – Telling Stories

From the birth of Jesus to the origin of Santa to all of the events in History where Christmas played a major role, History majors will have it covered and are in charge of all the funny family stories from over the years that they can only remember with their trained memory. Light a fire, pour the eggnog, and get ready to listen.

12. Music – Caroling

“Oh Christmas Tree” just sounds better in four-part harmony accompanied by a French Horn, what can I say? Music majors know the right tune and all the words to all your favorite Christmas songs and maybe even some you don’t know!

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
