Shea Savage's Guide To The College Majors

Throwing more shade, this time at education instead of religion.

Shea Savage's Guide To The College Majors
huffpost.com

In a similar vein to my prior article, "Shea Savage's Guide To The Christian Denominations," I will now be giving my official idiot's guide to the UNIVERSITY MAJORS!

Again, this is a joke, so same rules apply about not getting too salty.

Also, this is TOTALLY comprehensive and not at ALL off the top of my head, so I'm sure you guys won't notice ANY really obvious gaps here. Or ironically self-effacing sarcasm.


1. Engineering


Majoring in superiority AND inferiority complexes

Majoring in the mistaken belief that going to college is just to make money


2. Math


Majoring in detachment from society

Like engineering without the money


3. Marine Biology


Still have the same career dreams as when they were twelve

Are disappointed when dolphin rides happen less often than they imagined


4. History

Majoring in dust and loneliness

Would probably still vote for the Populist party if they could


5. Theology

Majoring in dust and loneliness, but at least they get to go to heaven

Majoring in "Actually..."


6. Christian Ministries

Majoring in youth group

All worked at summer camps in high school


7. Fine Art


Will have the best decorated cardboard box of all the hobos

Can argue convincingly that even literal turds belong in galleries


8. Women's Studies

Majoring in Facebook rants

Fight for the rights of all women except those who are still unborn


9. Government


Majoring in pure evil

Like history majors without the learning


10. Education

Almost too meta to cope

Hope you like kids


11. Business


Majoring in middle management

Totally going to "start their own company" after grad school


12. Communication

Majoring in Undeclared Major

Seriously it's just a placeholder till you pick something real to study


13. English

Majoring in objectively the best major, but I'm slightly biased

Majoring in not-math


Hope you guys enjoy my latest in SHEA'S GUIDES! Maybe more will come later if I ever feel like it and the clocks were striking thirteen again.

Christmas tree
Librarian Lavender

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Christmas is one of my personal favorite holidays because of the Christmas traditions my family upholds generation after generation. After talking to a few of my friends at college, I realized that a lot of them don't really have "Christmas traditions" in their family, and I want to help change that. Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way.
