4 Things You Should Not Say To An Education Major

Being an education major is stressful, but beautiful. Finally getting to see how to work a classroom or how to make an impact in a student's life, makes life amazing. Coming home and telling people around you that you are going into education? Not so amazing. Most people don't see education as important or worth the four years or college. Us, education majors, see things so differently. We see the world as an opportunity to educate, to teach, to be a role model, and so many more things. So here are a couple things that we are sick of hearing:

1. "You won't make any money."

Why should I base my happiness off of money? If I am happy, then that is all that matters.

2. "What about the bad students?"

All students have different needs. Some more than others, but teachers are the ones that help guide to better life choices and to make students see their potential.

3. "You won't be happy."

I have heard this over, and over again. Other people should not drag you down or have someone else determine your happiness.

4. " You're going through four years of college to not even be able to pay your loans back."

This goes back to making money. I hear this one more than anything, and I hate it the most. I will be able to take care of myself, and my loans.

I don't want this article to see all negative. Teachers are wonderful, and being able to go through with an education major shows so much strength.

It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. But also a time of stressing over the perfect gift.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…
