It IS my real major

Things Communication Majors Are Tired Of Hearing
natcom.org

Communication majors all around have always been kind looked down on and assumed that we just chose this major because we weren't "smart" enough to do biology or astrophysics. Not all of us can be a scientist of those sorts. But communication is a science on its own and we are our own type of scientist. Although we know we are where we belong, others are not so supportive of this major that we chose.

1. Don't you mean Communications?

Uhhhm it is actually just communication. And don't ask me again because I am 100 percent positive that there is no "s" at the end of my major, but in that case, aren't you studying nursings? Biologies? Educations? Didn't think so.

2. So basically just learn how to talk to people?

Not exactly, but obviously you need a crash course in common sense.

3. I bet it's super easy.

It's just the easiest. A monkey could so do it.

4. So what was the major you dropped for communication?

Uhh it's always been communication, but thank you for your concern and the uncomfortable feeling you just gave me.

5. When are you going to declare you REAL major?

Probably when you stop asking me dumb questions, so never.

6. So you never get homework.

We never get homework assignments ever. We just sit around and communicate all day about words.

7. What even is communication?

Sorry, super secret stuff only Comm majors allowed.

8. That degree is pretty worthless.

Alright, I'll make sure to tell Ellen DeGeneres how worthless her major was/is.

9. Can you even get a job with that?

Uh, I would hope so.

Comm majors do not get enough credit for the endless amount of work we do. We might not solve an equation in less than 30 seconds or cure cancer but our trade is valuable too. Please stop asking us what "real" job we can get with our major. We are more than capable and prepared to get a "real" job after we graduate.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
