11 Things All Education Majors Know To Be True
Anne-Marie DeRusso

There's definitely a norm for the type of person who chooses to enter the field of education. Whether you're reading this as an Education Major yourself, or you're reading it thinking of someone in your life, there are specific qualities that come to mind. He or she must be patient and compassionate and of course interested in working with children or young adults. But, there's also the things that make an education major tick! Things that get them excited for the future and keep them motivated to go into a field which, to be honest, has lost a lot of respect. This is for all of my fellow education majors; you're not alone in this. We're all just as excited as you are. Here are 11 things all education majors know to be true.

1. "That's an easy major."


2. You love stationary.


3. You've probably already started your collection of supplies and books for your own future classroom (and you're still in your undergrad).

4. You also have a Pinterest board with tons of future classroom decoration tips and lesson plan ideas.

5. Your closet is already full of "teacher clothes."

6. Your part-time job is working with kids and you absolutely love it.


7. You spend more hours at your placement than you're supposed to.

8. You have a laundry list of teachers you had in the past who are inspiring you every single day.


9. You love going to class (well, at least the education ones).

10. You get overly excited when talking to teachers who are currently in the field.

11. Because there is nothing you want more in this world than to be a teacher.

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.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
