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. What else would you expect from people who dedicate their college careers to studying and understanding…well…YOU!
2. When you get the “So you must suck at math, huh?” comment.
3. When your professor says they have a fun activity planned, but it’s always group work.
4. When you dispute a grade thinking nothing will come of it, but your professors are actually chill af and *communicate* with you on an agreed grade.
5. When someone says “Isn’t your major just common sense?”
6. When you see people out enjoying their lives and you’re still trying to figure out the difference between the primary and secondary triads of the quasi-categorical syllogism.
7. When someone did you dirty and you’re about to give them a piece of your mind, but then you remember what you learned about aggressive communication in chapter 3.
8. When you’re doing team building exercises and some higher power (really just your clumsy self) bestowed the privilege of losing the competition for the whole group to you.
9. Knowing that online tests are non-existent for comm majors.
10. When a non-communication major comes to you for help but doesn't want to take your communication advice.
11. When you try to recreate a joke from your class to a non-communication major, but all you get from them are crickets.
12. Basically knowing everyone's business because you know exactly how to get it out of them.
13. Your reaction when someone says, “Oh, you must LOVE people.”
14. When your professor calls you out to give an impromptu speech.
15. When your GroupMe notifications interrupt time with your S/O.
16. When someone sarcastically says “Communication? Oh that’s hard.”
17. Becoming a master persuasive speaker and feel like you can get your way on anything and make everyone believe you're always right.
18. When you analyze media and realize how blatantly sexist, racist, and just phobic in general the world is.
20. Attempting to not be judgmental while analyzing people in public.
22. When you’re locked up in the library writing, yet again, another 10 page research paper on analyzing and critiquing the human race.
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.
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).
26. When you want a second pair of eyes proofreading your essay but they just say your papers are always good. *hair flip*
27. Paying attention in class because you actually LOVE what you're learning.
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.
29. When you realize you’ll have to graduate from your beloved SOC one day.
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.
