College Major Stereotypes

I guess high school never does end.

College Major Stereotypes

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've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

I don't think I say it enough...

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.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. 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.
