If College Majors Were Board Games

Nursing students would definitely be 'Operation'

The whole reason that we have defined our major in college is because we've determined that we're good at something. For example, nursing students would probably be great at Operation because, well, they'll be doing surgeries quite a bit in their job. What game represents your major?

1. Accounting

Monopoly is such a good fit for accountants. The whole game centers around balancing your money and purchasing as many assets as possible while also taking into account your liabilities.

2. Criminal Justice

How could Clue not represent a CJ major? You're investigating a murder. It's just prep work for the real deal, really.

3. English

With Scrabble, you have to make words using only the letters you're given. English majors are all about using words that no one has heard before, so of course this game would be perfect for them.

4. Psychology

Chess is all about getting into your opponents head to figure out their next move. Psychologists have to do the same thing to better understand their clients to help them.

5. Art

Pictionary is literally drawing things and having people guess what it is. Of course someone who's majoring in something that can deal with art would be great at a game like Pictionary.

6. Political Science

Cards Against Humanity is perfect for poli sci majors because 1) a lot of the cards have to do with political standpoints and history, and 2) they have to argue why their card is the best fit. It's basically their job to argue what to do.

7. Communications / Public Relations

Telephone is the obvious fit for communications/public relations majors. The whole premise of the game is to communicate, after all.

8. Education

Trivial Pursuit is the ultimate knowledge game, so of course education majors would be a great fit for this game.

9. Theatre

CHARADES. They have to act out a word or idea in order to win the game.

10. Dance


Twister is all about having the moves, which dancers obviously have.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

202
winter

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
