The Life Of A Double Major

College can be difficult with just one major, so it can be easy to imagine just how much more complicated things can be when adding two or three majors into the mix. Although it isn't always talked about, many people find themselves juggling more than one major. Here is a little insight on the day and the life of someone that is experiencing this. Next time you see someone with more than one major, give them a pat on the back because the struggle is real.

1) Your schedule is always packed

When you initially decide to double major you tell yourself that it won't be so bad, but when the classes start to kick in you discover the reality of it all. Say goodbye to the good ol' days of not always having a packed schedule. You will always have a full load of classes every semester.

2) You spend so much time in the library. Sometimes you go and you aren't even doing homework

You will live in the library and finally come to terms that some of your hangouts, dinners and naps will occur there and you won't be ashamed.

3) You experience a lot of late nights

Your late nights won't just be during midterms or finals but a weekly routine. After a while you will find that you become the most productive at night even if it feels like you are dying in the process.

4) There is never a blow off class because they all actually matter in order for you to graduate

You find that those slots in your schedule to take basic electives are now replaced by major classes that you need for graduation.

5) You may turn into that friend that is always complaining about a class or an assignment because school starts to consume your life.

6) During high stress times you will consider dropping back to just one major

When times get hard you start to question what exactly you were thinking when you decided that one major wasn't enough. You then become disappointed in yourself and start to plan out in your head how things will be if you just gave up.

7) At times you'll compare yourself to your friends that have less homework

When thinking about everything that needs to get done it can be very overwhelming and you may find yourself more emotional than you usually are. Don't worry your real friends will understand and not judge you.

8) Some peers will think you are crazy and you won't have much to say back because you think you are crazy too.

Although having more than one major can be difficult and to some seem like a death sentence. When it is all said and done you know that it was all totally worth it and you would do it all over again.

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?
