A Hate Letter To My Major

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

A Hate Letter To My Major
Schollegiate

Dear Major,

When I was a shining freshman, I couldn't go an entire conversation without telling my new friends about you. I was proud to identify myself by you. I was eager to take all of these advanced classes about you and learn more than I could have ever dreamed.

Now I'm a junior and my shine for you has dulled.

It's not that I hate you. If I hated you, I would have switched majors by now. I just hate the work.

When I was a freshman, I couldn't wait to crack ope all of the 300 and 400 level textbooks that you had to offer. I couldn't wait to sit down in those classes and get to work on learning what I wanted to do with the rest of my life.

But I'm tired. I don't want to read whole books on ancient practices or stay up late writing papers reviewing you.

I just want a nap that you're not giving me.

Not a day goes by that I don't want to just leave. I was literally sitting in the middle of a class last week and thought, "I'll just drop this major and be done with it."

But there's nothing else I could see myself doing.

You get on my nerves. You make me cry. You make me want to drop out of college and live under a bridge for the rest of my life.

But I still love to say that you're my major, and my life wouldn't be the same without you.

Love,
Your Stressed Out Double Major

P.S. Your sibling major isn't that great either.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

College without friends is like peanut butter without jelly.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs.
