'Umbrella Academy' Characters As College Majors

In This Article:

This show. Netflix choosing to adapt Gerard Way's comic into real life was TV (or binging) gold. This is not your average superhero show. It gives you a behind the scenes look at what it might be like to live the life of someone with powers. I felt like each character someone could relate to in some way. I think that is what makes a good show is when each character is complex enough to make us identify with them. Speaking of identifying, look below and see which character matches your college major!


1. Sir Reginald Hargreeves - Engineering

This man invented a talking chimp and a bionic woman all while at the same time creating a crime fighting force to save the world. Like engineering majors, he is driven and is passionate about his inventions and creations and finds new ways to make the world more efficient through technology.

2. Mom (Grace) - Hospitality

She cooks, she cleans, she deals with seven super teens going through puberty at the same time, mad respect for Mom on this show. Hospitality majors have to deal with a slew of different kind of challenges throughout their career, and they handle it with the same grace as Mom.

3. The Handler - Political Science

The Handler keeps everyone and every event organized and in place. She leads precisely and is up to date on all historical events to make time run smoothly.

4. Diego - Criminology/Criminal Justice

Diego has a tough outside, but he is always thinking about others. Most importantly, his passion is to protect the people he loves. Like Crim majors, he obviously has an affinity for justice and wanting to be a part of clearing up the crime in his town.

5. Number Five - International Studies

Number Five has been just about everywhere, and he's got the attitude of your friend who just got back from their abroad trip from Spain.

6. Allison Hargreeves - Communications

Allison is a master manipulator, like that's literally her power. She is subdue everyone in times of stress and be a strong voice and representative for the family.

7. Luther Hargreeves - Physical Education/Sports Management

Luther has super strength and loyalty. He is willing to go above and beyond to keep the family together as a team.

8. Klaus Hargreeves - Theatre Performance/Production

Klaus is not above going above and beyond to complete a mission. Whether it's traveling through time, or busting a snow globe on his head, he's ready to pull out the theatrics to save the day.

9. Vanya Hargreeves - Music Performance

Vanya slays on the violin. Although sometimes seen as the fifth Beatle of the Hargreeves family, she is super in her own way. Her music ability and dedication definitely would make her a music major.

10. Hazel - Culinary Arts

When Hazel isn't on the job, he's definitely trying every donut he can. Like Culinary Arts, he has respect for the food and understands the unique differences between every donut flavor. Same.

Cha-Cha - Business

Cha-Cha is all business. She is always trying to carry out the job as effectively and quickly as possible.

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?
