20 Times Dietetics Majors Feel The "Ugh…" Emoji On A Very Personal Level

Author's illustration

1. When people get internships before they graduate.

Wow, how fun! *inwardly inserts emoji*

2. When people don't have to pay for the internships they get before they graduate.

What a concept…

3. When people actually get paid for the internships they get before they graduate.

Okay, seriously.

4. When rotations are just automatically part of another major's undergraduate program.

I can only imagine…

5. When people complain about their 1 out of XX tests, when you're struggling with the 1/1 internship application that basically determines whether or not you can actually use your degree for anything (in addition to your tests.)

It's fine. No pressure.

6. When people assume that other medical professions can do the job of a registered dietitian.

1 nutrition class, 15+ nutrition classes plus internship and more, same thing.

7. When you're all excited that you finished your case study but then you realize you only have 2 weeks until your next case study is due.

I'm done! Wait.

8. When said majors that have rotations automatically integrated into their undergraduate program don't have to think about the possibility of taking part in the arrangement of said rotations and preceptors.

No, no, it's really quite easy (said no one ever.)

9. When people believe unsubstantiated nutrition theories.

Oh…

10. When people dismiss your input on unsubstantiated nutrition theories.

You're right, what do I know.

11. When people disregard evidence-based nutrition theories.

So you'll believe whatever this person without even a degree in nutrition said, but you won't believe these research publications…

12. When people don't care at all about nutrition.

*Googles motivational techniques*

13. When people construct a picket fence of unnecessary food rules around their life.

"Oh no baby what is you doing?"

14. When people mislabel a food as absolutely and definitively "bad."

I mean, I've never been personally victimized by it, but…

15. When people ditch an entire food group but will spare alcohol.

Because 7 kcal/g - 4 kcal/g = weight loss, right?

16. When underclassmen freak the heck out about their classes when they aren't a senior applying to internships with a 50% match rate while trying to keep up that GPA in the final classes they're taking.

I remember when I was your age.

17. When people talk about it "all being over" after graduation.

What light at the end of the tunnel…?

18. When people have jobs lined up for after graduation and you don't even know if you'll get an internship that you're willing to sign away your life's savings for.

Oh yeah, gonna go make that money (hopefully, in a year or more)…

19. When you think about the fact that you may have to find an apartment to move into by August and you don't even know what state that might be in until April.

I mean, apartments are pretty easy to find, right?

20. When you realize that in the real world you will no longer receive regular free food from your classes.

Man, this is the worst part.

Things People Without A Typical 'Boy Name' or 'Girl Name' Know To Be True

All names should be "unisex names."

Tulane University

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

CSU

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me.

But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

14 Things The Extremely Pale Are Tired Of Hearing

I get it... I'm pale.

University of Vermont

2075

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
