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.

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?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
