What Would You Do If You Didn't Have The Major You Chose?

My alternative majors.

What Would You Do If You Didn't Have The Major You Chose?

Do you ever wonder what your college experience would have been like if you chose a different major than the one you have now?

Every time I am stuck with a 10-page research paper or an annotated bibliography, I think back to that question. Sometimes I am truly grateful with being a writing major but then other times, I wish I just had an easier route. Here is my list of alternate majors and my probable responses.


If I were a Criminal Justice major...

I feel like I would really enjoy puzzles. My main focus would be trying to solve the problem to anything and everything. Even when it is not my problem. I think I would be pretty good and remembering weird laws from different states. I also would love to know about crazy crime stories and just judge them super hardcore.

If I were a History major...

I would continuously remind my friends that I have a pretty rad major. History is way cooler than people think. I'd be pretty cool at starting conversations because I would be spewing random facts about things. Also, I would probably be listening to the Hamilton soundtrack all the (like I already do).

If I were a Nursing major...

I would be doing a lot crying. 1. Because my textbooks would be so expensive and 2. Because It would be so much work. I think it is definitely worth it in the end. I know that I am saving lives and helping the world. Also, I would understand all the medical terms on Grey's Anatomy.

If I were a Music major...

Then I would never have any friends. I would have laser focus on my future performances and future auditions. I think that I would have more confidence than ever before. Also, I would show up all my friends when it comes to singing in the car.

But in the end, I love the major that I chose. Some of the other ones do not really fit with me and that is perfectly fine. Not everything in life is supposed to fit neatly into yours.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

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.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
