15 College Majors, If They Were Your Favorite Disney World Rides

Choosing a major in college is one of the hardest parts, but when you compare it to your favorite Walt Disney World rides it all becomes pretty simple and clear! I mean, if the life of an anthropology major is really just like It's A Small World, then sign me up!

Obviously, this is all for fun and not an actual representation of the following college majors!

1. Music - Rock 'n' Roller Coaster

I don't think this needs much explaining, but a ride totally focused on one of the most iconic bands of all time no doubt encompasses all that it is to be a music major — a love for music that lasts for centuries.

2. Environmental Science - Living with the Land

Living with the Land is all about sustainability and helping our environment. TBH, the people who work this ride are probably environmental science majors.

3. International Relations - Soarin' Around the World

Soar around the world and immerse yourself in new cultures on Soarin' Around the World... or as an international relations major.

4. Engineering - Test Track

Wikimedia Commons

Step One: Design your own car that will be the most reliable, the most efficient, and the fastest. Step two: Test it out. Pretty sure I just described engineering.

5. History - Haunted Mansion

Exploring a creepy, OLD, abandoned mansion on a ride sounds exactly like something a history major would want to do in real life. Why flip through a book when you could experience history first-hand — the older the better, am I right history majors?!

6. Business - Seven Dwarfs' Mine Train

Although it seems like a smooth ride compared to everyone else, like the Mine Train, Business majors have a lot of unexpected twists, turns and plummets to deal with.

7. Marketing - Toy Story Mania!

Fun, colorful and creative with a mix of analytics as you try to zap the target worth the most points. Marketing in a nutshell.

8. Nursing - Big Thunder Mountain Railroad

"This here's the wildest ride in the WILDERNESS!"

Not even a Nursing major, but I can agree.

9. Astronomy - Space Mountain

Wikimedia Commons

Because doesn't everyone who majors in Astronomy shoot through space on a rocket ship while chocolate chip cookies float above their head?

10. Anthropology - It's A Small World

Wikimedia Commons

Learn about all cultures. Embrace all cultures. Respect all cultures.

11. Criminal Justice - Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin

Flickr Creative Commons

Protect and save the universe from the bad guys. And while the ride is a much more playful spin on that, criminal justice majors really do protect and save us once they graduate!

12. Theater - Monsters Inc. Laugh Floor

Flickr Creative Commons

Get rid of your stage fright, hide your embarrassment, and exude laughter (or sadness, depending on how hangry you are) when you walk onto the Laugh Floor, or into the life of a theater major!

13. Marine Science - Pirates of the Caribbean

Wikimedia Commons

Sail the ocean blue in search of buried treasure! Or maybe just some new fish species, but either way, the ocean is your home!

14. Political Science - Mad Tea Party

Wikimedia Commons

Like the teacups, everything is always spinning 100 mph in circles in the life of politics, especially within all the individual parties. Each one is like its own Mad Tea Party.

15. Undeclared - PeopleMover

Wikimedia Commons

Like the PeopleMover, all the undeclared majors are just sitting back and enjoying the ride. Exploring new majors like Astronomy (aka Space Mountain) and Criminal Justice (aka Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin) during the ride, they are testing all the different waters and not quite sure which path they are ready to travel down yet.

College is a crazy, beautiful, amazing whirlwind. It is highly popularized in television and movies, but not necessarily in the most accurate way. Yes, there's frats, dingy dorms, raging house parties—but there's also a lot that people fail to mention.

1. If you thought that you knew how to study, you're wrong.

All of your classes aren't taught every day, so professors aren't on your case constantly about reading and memorizing material. Once you get back that "questionable" first exam grade, you'll kick it into high gear and figure out what works for you

Girl With Bleached Hair
Tumblr

I've been a bleach blonde for over a year now, and let me tell you, it is a lifestyle. More hair appointments, longer showers, and special shampoo. But it is totally worth it!

1. Mentally preparing yourself to convince your hair dresser that white is the way to go.

2. Or the anxiety of what could go wrong by bleaching your hair at home.

3. You could either become a ginger

4. Or a pixie

5. The face you make in the mirror when you take off your towel to unveil the perfect white strands.

6. Taking a million selfies the day you bleached it, because you know your roots will be back in literally 2 days.

7. Having to get bangs or a big chop because your hair is so damaged.

8. Having orange highlights in between touch-ups.

9. Going out for a drink afterwards to debut your updated look.

Despite the struggles, you love your platinum blonde hair! You make sure Instagram knows it, too. You don't need a filter, because the color is flawless by itself!

Finals: just thinking about them gives you anxiety. Only two weeks separate you from summer, but they're the longest of the semester. There's a familiarity to this season, now that you have had so many testing cycles under your belt. But that doesn't quell the ever present stress to pass your finals and your classes. Even better, as a package deal during these wonderful weeks, you get to wake up early to study and you get to take exams that can begin anytime from 7 A.M. to 7 P.M. Now that we have established that this week is not fun, here are some super relatable moments that punctuate finals week.

I've been at this college thing for almost three and a half years, and while I thought that high school was truly the lowest point of my existence, I'm beginning to realize that it was a walk in the park. Like, I miss the days when the biggest white lie I told my parents was my made up excuse about being late for fourth period. These days, the white lies are a tad more complex, and as ashamed as I am to admit it, I've definitely told a few of these.
