Starter Packs For College Majors

Everything needs a starter pack.

All of the college majors have their own stereotypes, so every major obviously needs its own starter pack. Keep reading for some suggestions depending on your unique major!

Art History

Obviously, an art history major needs to have a Kanken backpack that’s preferably a mustard shade, but any other color will do. They will also be wearing a vintage-looking pair of glasses that are probably the “tortoise” style and crew-length socks that have something to do with art. They will likely have bangs that look weirdly too short. They will also be carrying a cup of coffee in a recyclable cup, a sketchbook that is just a few inches too big to fit in their Kanken, and some art book visible in their arm, such as a Matisse, Klimt, or Picasso book.

Philosophy

A philosophy major will be wearing a pair of stylish, yet large-for-their-face glasses, a vintage striped sweater that looks really comfortable and better than it should, and a pair of brown oxfords combined with a matching leather messenger bag. To top it off, we can’t forget the beanie.

English

The English major will above all be carrying a cup of some specialty coffee to keep them up late into the night so that they can finish that huge, classic of a book that they seem to carry around everywhere that no one else could even fathom wanting to read, such as "War and Peace" or "Pride and Prejudice." They will also have a portable book light on them at all times, and their library card will always be close by. Often, they will be seen across campus jotting down random words or sayings into their notebooks.

Film

The film major will above all have some super fancy and expensive camera hanging around their neck at all times. They will also have fancy movie posters all over their walls and will be wearing an overly chunky vintage cardigan even when it’s about 90 degrees outside.

Anthropology

The anthropology major will always have all-natural and organic snacks in their backpack and will have a sticker from every place they’ve ever traveled somewhere visible so everyone else will know that they’ve traveled to all of these places. They will also be able to pull off some lazy look with their hair that actually looks really put together and others will question how it’s possible.

Engineering

A black coffee on hand at all times, in combination with a bunch of loose sheets of math, a super modern and fancy techno laptop, an unnatural lack of sleep that has somehow become natural, dark circles under their eyes, and a few dried tears on their cheeks because they have so much homework to do.

Architecture

Just that giant portfolio bag kind of thing over their shoulder. No need for any other items in this starter pack.

Inspiration was drawn from the things I see on campus with a little help from this post on Pinterest from Buzzfeed.

NOTE: This is satire and is not meant to be offensive. I even roast myself.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
