11 Doubly Annoying Comments People Say To Double Majors, Every Single Time

There is nothing wrong with being a double major but a lot of people think there is and they all fill the need to voice it. Some things should be left unsaid and if they were we'd all be happier.

11 Doubly Annoying Comments People Say To Double Majors, Every Single Time

1. I'll pray for you!

Thank you for the prayers though I really do think others need them more than me.

2. Are you trying to kill yourself?

The answer to your question is no. I literally love both of my majors and neither of them makes me want to kill myself.

3. You must be crazy.

Just a little... I mean I am a double major, so I have to be crazy right?

4. Why don't you just minor in one?

Well, for starters, I love both and they will look really good after college on resumes and stuff... Plus, I don't want to.

5. Well if it was me, I would...

I'm sorry Karen, it's not you. I didn't ask for your thoughts nor do I want them. Thank you, though.

6. Do you even have a life outside of school?

Actually, I keep a really good life outside of academics. It's literally about being able to balance work, school and social.

7. Do you do anything other than study?

Yes, I do spend a lot of time studying and doing homework but I still have time to hang out, just preferably Friday night or Saturday because other than that it's school work.

8. I thought about double majoring but I don't see the point in it.

This is one where I kind of just look at people and nod because I'm glad you don't see the point, but I most definitely do.

9. Do you think I should double?

I would love to give you a simple yes-no answer but it's not that simple.

10. Aren't you worried about it taking longer than four years to finish?

As long as I take courses that I have to have and not extra's, and I stay on top of it, I can still graduate in four years. Side note: people with one major and no minor take five years to graduate all the time.

11. Why don't you just drop one?

Because as hard as it is and it can be very hard, in the end, it's worth it to me. It's worth the crazy looks people give me, it's worth the sleepless nights, the long days and the minor social life. It's all worth it because in the end, being a double major isn't something everyone can do.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
