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!).

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

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.
