A Short Rant On Everyone Who Judges My College Major

Let me be happy with my major. I chose it because I love it. I chose it for myself, not for anyone else.

“Good luck with that…” *said sarcastically*

I hate when I tell people my major, and then they give me their unwanted sarcastic remarks about how interesting that will turn out for me.

QUIT TELLING ME THAT.

I chose my major because it is something I enjoy. I chose it because I know a career path I want to take, and this major gets me there. I want this, so I am going to achieve it, with or without your snarky remarks towards me.

Are you the one taking these courses? No.

Are you the one paying for it? Hell no.

Are you the one who will graduate with this degree after all your hard work and dedication to something you love? NOPE.

So shut up, sit down, and quit judging me for my collegiate academic choices. It does not affect you at all.

If I want to be a teacher education, game design, psychology, business major, or LITERALLY ANYTHING ELSE THAT I COULD IMAGINE I WANT TO MAJOR IN, I’m going to set my goals towards achieving that. I picked it because I think I can do well at it.

If you have educated questions to ask me about my major, please, ask away.

Example of such questions are as follows:

“Psychology? That sounds cool, what is your dream goal to do with that after graduation?”

“Teacher education, wow! You are going to do so well. What age group and subject do you want to teach?”

“How excited are you to finally get into your dream job with your major?”

Uneducated questions or comments asked about my major that will make me want to punch you, are very unwelcomed.

Examples as follows:

“Early childhood? That's cute. Must be easy.”

“You’ll never get a job with that.”

“What can you even do with an english degree? No one even reads books anymore.”

Please, for the love of everything, let me be happy with my major. I chose it because I love it. I chose it for myself, not for anyone else. I am going to do it, with or without your unwanted opinion on the matter.

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.
