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.

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!
