It's fair to say that all college majors are home to different groups of people, especially personality wise, and like many of those personality quizzes, I thought it would be fun to create a list of dog breeds that embody certain majors because who doesn't love dogs? Here's what kind of dog you are based on these 8 majors!

1. Child & Family Development

Child and family development majors are like golden retrievers, and like golden retrievers, they are kind, friendly, confident, trustworthy, devoted, and intelligent! Golden retrievers are excellent with family and kids and I'm going to go ahead and assume a lot of those majors enjoy family and children as well right?

2. Communications

As a communications major myself, we have a stereotype of "just talking" or being the "easy" major, when we are so much more than that, which is why I chose the husky to represent it. Huskies are chatty dogs, but they also are very intelligent, outgoing, friendly, and playful. Communications majors aren't always verbally talkative, but we do like to write which I consider in a way is talking! We have to be fairly skilled in networking which requires being outgoing and friendly. I think the husky is the perfect embodiment of the communications major.

3. Criminal Justice

What better breed to represent the criminal justice major than the German shepherd? People that go into this field I assume take the law incredibly seriously (as we all should), and are very obedient. You also have to be courageous, alert, confident, and watchful to deal with criminals and the criminal justice system, and those are the exact same qualities found in a shepherd! It makes complete sense why they were chosen as for the job!

4. Engineering

Engineering is a huge major! You have to be super smart and super skilled at math. It's a major that requires a lot of work which is why people in this major are a lot like border collies! Border collies are smart, energetic workaholics who are always alert and responsive. They pay attention to details, and when working with machinery, you gotta be able to see everything!

5. Theater


Theater majors are very playful and creative. They have a wild imagination which is amazing! Dalmatians are very playful as well, but can also have a sensitive side; a necessity for acting! They're energetic and intelligent, which makes them perfect for theater in my book.

6. Business


Labrador Retrievers just shout business to me. They are trusting, intelligent, agile, even-tempered, and outgoing; all qualities of a successful businessperson.

7. Nursing

Nurses are what keep hospitals running, and with such a huge job, this major is represented by an equally huge breed. The Saint Bernard is a calm, gentle giant. Originally bred for rescuing people in harsh, winter conditions, they are also known as the "nanny" dog (Peter Pan anyone?). They are watchful, patient, as well as super friendly: All stellar qualities in a future nurse!

8. Science

Scientists are very curious, as they should be, and determined. Beagles are a very curious and determined breed as well, and get excited over new discoveries! The Beagle is the perfect science dog (but no pets in the lab!).

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.
