Major Competiton

And by major, I don't mean extreme.

Major Competiton

One thing I've noticed about college is that everything seems to be one giant competition. Whether it be who gets the best grades, who is a part of the most organizations, or who takes the most credits, everyone tends to challenge their selves to be better than their friends and fellow students. While this is all well and good, another form of "competition" that has been quite evident to me since I was just a little baby freshman is the competition between majors. Here is my list of why how hard/demanding/intense your major is, it doesn't compare to other majors that you've never even tried:

1. You picked your major.

I'm sorry that your major is hard, and I'm sorry that it exhausts you, but that's not my fault. No one is forcing you to do what you're doing, so I don't really care to hear you complain about it 24/7.

2. Every major has it's difficulties.

Yes, there are some majors that are notoriously difficult and some that are easier, but each major has it's own challenges. You might be a biology major and think that you wish your life was as easy as "making a bowl out of clay," but I'd love to see you get on the wheel and throw a flawless piece of art. Go ahead. I'll wait.

3. You're not better than anyone because of what you major in.

Every major exists for a reason. Not everyone is able to succeed in every major that exists. Everything that everyone is doing by continuing their education is a positive thing, so chill out.

4. Talking about your major like it matters more than others is simply a crappy thing to do.

It makes you look like an asshole. 'Nuff said.

So that's it, really. Stop being rude. Stop thinking that you're better than everyone else. Be nice to one another. Support one another.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer.
