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.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
