College Major Stereotypes

I guess high school never does end.

So I just finished my first year at college, and I’m going to let you in on a secret: there are still cliques. I know, ground-shaking information. They are called a “major,” and when you join one, you better be ready for what you are really signing up for.

The English Majors: You better not ask them what they are even going to do with “that degree” and then turn around and ask them to grade your paper. These people are the ones who have to write 25 page papers that are due by Monday.

The Music/Theater Majors: These guys always seem to have fun; they are the ones who are always dancing and singing, and sometimes it gets to be a little too much. When I say they sing and dance everywhere, it doesn’t matter the time or day; they will sing and dance all day and night.

Education Majors: This might be biased, but these people get stepped on all the time. It might seem like they are always free, but that is only an illusion. School is only in the morning, so they have to fit all the required field experience in along with other classes. They also are the most prepared; I personally have a first aid kit, crayons, and three coloring books with me at all times.

Engineers: These people think they are the kings of the world. Just because they will get fancy, high-paying jobs and not have to worry about paying back student loans. What they lack in proper social skills they make up for in snobby comments.

Psychology Majors: These are the type of people that look at you once and think that you want to sleep with your mother. They don’t know how to study because they ace everything.

Political Science Majors: The "lax bro" equivalent of the college community. Seriously, if these people are busy, they will let you know it. They like to think they are the big dogs on campus, and they can’t see that people don’t like them because they have 700 followers on twitter.

Nursing Majors: Give these people a hug. These people have so much going on and it’s ridiculous.

Athletic Training: These people are almost the same as doctors. Just remember they can’t diagnose you when you sprain your ankle jumping out of bed because you woke up late.

Double Majors: These people are at least 40 percent of my stress in life. I don’t have time to hear about all you have going on. I can’t even handle my own major; I don’t need you to complain to me all the time.

The Undecided Majors: Typically freshmen, these are the people that are normally taking the general education classes. They are also the ones to go out to a party on a Tuesday night because they don’t have any morning classes scheduled for that purpose.

Again, these are only things I’ve noticed on my campus. What is written here doesn’t apply to all people in that specific major. At my college, these are the attitudes that are most prevalent.

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.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
