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.
