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.

Now that Halloween is over, it's time to focus on the Holiday Season. Don't get me wrong, I think Thanksgiving is great and can't wait for it, but nothing gives me greater joy than watching Freeform's 25 Days of Christmas, lighting peppermint scented candles, decking the halls, and baking gingerbread cookies. So while we approach the greatest time of the year, let's watch the 15 best Christmas movies of all time.

6 Signs You Are An English Major

There are various stereotypes about college students, most of which revolve around the concept of your major. Unfortunately, we often let stereotypes precede our own judgments, and we take what information is immediately available to us rather than forming our own opinions after considerable reflection. If I got a dollar for every time my friends have made a joke about my major I could pay my tuition. One stereotype on campus is the sensitive, overly critical and rigid English major. Here are six telltale signs you are one of them.

27 Things 'The Office' Has Taught Us

"The Office" is a mockumentary based on everyday office life featuring love triangles, silly pranks and everything in between. It can get pretty crazy for just an average day at the office.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.

Being pre-med is quite a journey. It’s not easy juggling school work, extracurricular activities, volunteering, shadowing, research, and MCAT prep all at the same time. Ever heard of “pain is temporary, but GPA is forever?” Pre-meds don’t just embody that motto; we live and breathe it. Here are 10 symptoms you’re down with the pre-med student syndrome.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

Books were always about understanding for me, about learning the way someone else sees, about connection.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

I keep making this joke whenever the idea of books is brought up: "God, I wish I knew how to read." It runs parallel to another stupid phrase, as I watch my friends struggle through their calculus classes late at night in our floor lounge: "I hope this is the year that I learn to count." They're both truly idiotic expressions, but, when I consider the former, I sometimes wonder if there's some truth to it.
