Feelings You Experience in Your Major Classes

I love you. I hate you. I can't live without you.

Feelings You Experience in Your Major Classes
University of Rochester: Department of Political Science

I may have planned badly on my part. At first it seemed like a good idea, but now I'm starting to wonder if I did the right thing.

I decided to take only classes in my major this year.

In my defense, I'm a double major, so I'm not strictly taking one kind of class. But that still doesn't help my situation at all. There's nothing to break up my daily doses of what I'm getting my degree in. Nothing just to shake things up. Nothing that I don't have to worry about understanding fully because I won't necessarily need it in the future.

I'm terrified.

Whether you're currently drowning like me, or have already been there, done that, you understand the feelings associated with major classes.

First day, feeling fine. You're home now, where you'll be until you graduate. This building is your domain.

Oh, the syllabus? Let me look over all of the things I'll be so quick to pick up on, because, well, it's my major.

Oh? That book sounds kind of complicated. Ehh, I'm studying this for my living; I should get it.

Okay, lesson one! Let's get through this with ease.

Wait, what is this an example of? What is the professor even talking about?

How does this apply to anything in this class?

I have to have this wholebook read by the next class? I can barely understand it!

Do I really need this major? Is it that important to my success in this field?

Oh, wait, the professor tied it back. They brought it back to the original topic. I think get it now!

I love this major!

Wait, it's gonna be like this all year?

But through all of the tears of five classes of the same topic day after day, it's too bad I can't imagine myself doing anything else for the rest of my life.

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.
