We communication majors may not be comedians, but we can all agree that comedic things happen to us on the daily. Whether it's a perk or a downside to being known as a comm major, our lives are nothing short of marvelous.

23. When your entire class gets sidetracked and starts a passionate discussion on how to eliminate the world of all social issues.

24. Simply trying to communicate with non-communication majors.

media.giphy.com

25. When you walk past other comm classrooms and see things you’re not sure you just saw (ex: an entire class playing kazoos…true story).

media.giphy.com

26. When you want a second pair of eyes proofreading your essay but they just say your papers are always good. *hair flip*

media.giphy.com

27. Paying attention in class because you actually LOVE what you're learning.

media.giphy.com

28. When people ask what bae thinks about you being a comm major and you enlighten them on your happy relationship, partially due to your communication competence.

media.giphy.com

29. When you realize you’ll have to graduate from your beloved SOC one day.

media.giphy.com

30. That feeling you always get when you think back on all the amazing memories you’ve made and know there is no other major out there for you.

Whether marvelous means marvelous or marvelous is being said sarcastically, we sure do love our major and wouldn't trade it for the world.

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.
