Every College Major Has At Least 1 Stereotype That Is 100% True, Here’s Yours

Ah, your college major--the thing that apparently tells everything about you. Innumerable articles exist talking about just what every major is like, and it is sure to cause plenty of contention. However, stereotypes about college majors don't come out of nowhere--every college major has one that's at least mostly accurate, and here's yours.

Business

You probably did it because of the career stability, and you either know exactly what you're gonna do with it or have no idea what you're gonna do with it.

Health Sciences

You wanna help people be healthy but you're living on coffee and anxiety. Health is important for everyone, except you.

Psychology

You learn to understand or help out things that are wrong with the brain because you want to or can't understand or help things that are wrong with yours. (And yes, I'm a psychology major. It's true for me too.) You're also ready to fight anyone who doesn't believe that psychology is a science.

History

You have at least one obscure topic that you will rant about for all eternity and maybe longer and you have lots of feelings about it. Your friends are probably tired of hearing about it. You don't care. Seventh rant on the influence of Japanese propaganda on the Sino-Japanese war? No matter, it's important!

English

You either worship the ground Shakespeare walked on or believe he is an overrated twink. You also probably have infinite short stories or essays published somewhere on the Internet but not published conventionally and that lowkey haunts you.

Journalism

You are a hipster and probably have a Tumblr/Instagram devoted just to aesthetic photos. Catch you in a cafe with a chai tea working on the latest hard-hitting article. You likely own at least one pair of high-topped Converse.

Japanese

Listen, if you're not into anime or manga by now you will have one anime or manga that you have a lot of feelings about by the time you graduate. It's just the rules.

Other Foreign Languages

You're worldly and cultured. And probably know a ton about one culture and not a ton about any of the others.

Computer Science

You're in this for the money and because the more you learn about computers, the better you can play the newest PC games. You probably have a shortcut to Steam on your home screen and are an active/wannabe/former member of the school's gaming club.

Any "Hard Science" (Physics, Chem, Bio, etc.)

You question your choice of major. A lot. You envy the days when you have free time and if you're inclined toward caffeine you have lots of those pour-a-five-hour-energy-into-your-double-shot-espresso kind of days. But a little bit of you enjoys the pain and turmoil.

Political Science

You live to argue. You stand hardcore by your political beliefs and have a manila folder of sources, color-coded, to defend them. You're probably also a lowkey hipster.

Expressive Arts (Media Arts, Dance, Art, etc.)

The quickest way to annoy you is to have someone ask what you're going to do with your degree. You also live for the fact that you had to take a grand total of one math class in your college career.

Education

You have STRONG feelings about funding for teachers. You already have a Pinterest board dedicated to your future classroom and fantasize about your future a little bit too much.

Anthropology

You're kind of a cryptid. Since everyone takes intro to anthro classes, people don't know if they've seen an actual anthro major but they're there. We think. You know that you want to be an anthropology major but not much else. No one should ask you about bones or culture unless they want a hour long rant.

But no matter what your major is, you all do wonderful things, stereotypes aside! We all make the world amazing!

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
