Stop Making A Competition Out Of College Majors

Every major has its fair share of challenges.

Stop Making A Competition Out Of College Majors

Business, nursing, English, communications, biology and the other 30 or 40 or so majors offer different experiences to different students. However, the biggest question that I ask myself about these majors is why some students feel the need to prove why their major is more difficult than someone else's? What difference does it make toward your educational experience?

What makes it OK to undermine someone else's life path simply because you think that you take harder classes?

I have had so many people make negative remarks to me about being a business major. People in other majors have said, "Oh yeah, my friends don't understand that I couldn't do whatever activity because they are business majors and have it easy." Everyone has their niche in life. Some are better at writing, some are better at math and so on. I know that I could never willingly take a science class because I know that I would struggle in it. However, I also know that many people that could never take an accounting course because they would not be able to keep up with it. It all is what you are good at.

Every major has its fair share of challenges and the back and forth of who has it harder is irrelevant.

We are all college students. We are all in the same boat. We all have plenty of exams, papers and presentations to complete before graduation. So stop ragging on other majors for "having it easy" because maybe one week you have one more exam than they do.

It shouldn't be a competition.

We are all striving for the same goal and instead of pushing each other down, we should be acknowledging that we all have our own struggles when it comes to college and offer support when one of us is struggling.

College is hard for everyone and life is harder. So stop making a competition about something so unnecessary and stop comparing your major to everyone else's.

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.
