Changing my major was one of the best decisions I've made. It has opened up so many doors, including writing for Odyssey! Not only is communication a key to life, but as a communications major, you are also representing Journalism, PR, Advertising, and Social Media Marketing. Take pride that you are a part of the Communications community.

1. You get excited for writing assignments.

Five more papers? No problem! You can fly through them in two days.

2. You NEVER stress about deadlines.

Your time management skills are so on-point that you never have to worry about deadlines. Thank your professors for piling mounds of work on you.

3. You're always on social media.

You'll find me on Instagram all the time, but don't worry, I have an account on every platform you can think of. Oh, and don't forget about the News App.

4. You can't use the excuse "I didn't check my phone".

We are ALWAYS on our phones. Everyone knows it, too. Unfortunately, you have to come up with a better excuse as to why you're nonchalantly avoiding someone. If you didn't see their text on your phone, you sure did on your laptop.

5. You always do better on short answer questions. 

If there are short answers on an exam, you bet we are doing them before the multiple choice. Multiple choice questions trick us too easily. There is never one correct answer in our minds.

6. Group projects? 

Group projects are never an issue for you. Communicating is your forte, but your nervous instincts always tell you to be the team leader.

7. The most annoying thing someone can ask is, "So, what can you do with a Communications degree?"

Hmmm. ANYTHING!

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.
