6 Things Every Communication Major Can Somehow Not Communicate To Everyone In Their Life
Kate Moore

Communications is such an amazing career choice because it is like one road with 300 little side roads that all lead to our destination (happiness and comfortability.) In high school, I had no idea what communications even meant. I applied to college as a social work major and quickly changed in the summer before college start. Something about comm. makes me feel like I belong in a place. It's one of those things that makes you feel this fire in your soul, yet you don't know where it will lead you.

1. People asking you what the heck comm even is

Trying to explain my major and my future to others can be difficult. We know what is it, but other people just stare with a blank face.

2. When your mom can't even explain your major to people...

Distant family obviously always asks how the kids are doing...She can't remember what "its called."

3. When your boyfriend...(yes) doesn't even know your major

I've told him about 500 times and he keeps forgetting what it is...Now other people think I'm lost.

4. Peers saying it's not a real job

There are so many different pathways communications can take you, that I can't even focus, Jessica.

5. Feeling like you were made for the content in your courses

Everybody likes a little challenge when it comes to learning their career, and it's a struggle when the professor is talking and I feel like I already know what he's going to say.

6. When anyone thinks they can be a comm major

The major isn't as easy as everyone thinks. You have to have a niche for one-on-one connections or personal affiliations. Just like everyone is destined and designed for their career, so is a person for communications.

It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. But also a time of stressing over the perfect gift.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…
