You Know You're A Speech Pathology Major When
Keep-Calm-O-Matic

There are a ton of undergraduate programs that you can go into. The one that I chose is the famous Bachelor of Arts in speech-language pathology. I absolutely love it and I guarantee that my fellow speech majors say the same thing. There are easy times and many tough times, but with the knowledge and experience you gain from the program, you know of these aspects.

1. The start of the program is something beyond what you’ve ever learned.


2. While in your phonetics class, you are in the library making sounds to transcribe the word and people are telling you to be quiet.


3. Once you learn about voice, place, and manner, you can’t help but watch the tongue and jaw movements while talking to others.


4. You enter into the audiology classes and you start to question which side you want to go toward.


5. As you move further, you feel the need to highlight all of your notes because everything is important.


6. You're running around trying to contact offices for observations.

But you can't find any because it's like finding a needle in a hay stack.


7. The dreaded GRE.

We don't speak of that.


8. Then comes the application process and you want to cry every day.


9. Once you’re applying, you’re realizing that everyone else has started to you pretty much start to compete.


10. You see that envelope in the mail of your either acceptance or denial and you sit there with it in front of you for hours, not wanting to open it.


11. You open the envelope and you see an acceptance letter and you scream because your dream came true.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week.

To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
