Life as a Double Major

As If being a full-time college student isn't enough

Life as a Double Major
www.hercampus.com

It is precisely one in the morning and I am doing every college student's least favorite thing, course planning. However, my planning is not just covering the upcoming spring semester. I am literally planning every course I have to take for the next two and a half years. This is one of the many tasks that come with the joy of double majoring. Here's a quick look at what it's like to take on such an academic behemoth.

1. Everyone asks why didn't you just make one of your majors a minor.

2. To which you then eloquently respond as to why that would be preposterous to an overachiever such as yourself.

3. You have already confronted the harsh reality that summer classes are a must.

4. Independent Studies are the best thing since sliced bread.

5. The two majors are not compatible in the least bit.

6. You laugh furiously when other people complain about how many credits they are taking.

7. You have two advisers.

8. The courses for each major are bound to conflict timewise.

9. You have asked yourself more than once "Is it really worth it?"

10. But then are immediately reminded of your love for both areas of sutdy and can genuinely answer with a resounding "YES"

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.

Mistakes are something we all make, no matter how old we get. Most of the time, the mistakes we made are little and sometimes due to something out of our control. Yet, there are mistakes that are bigger than others. Personally, I have mistakes that I wish I could go back and undo. Here they are:

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?
