What Is Weird Can Make Sense

An educational look at a separate double major.

What Is Weird Can Make Sense
confluenceedu

Hello beautiful people. I know that you cannot see me but maybe you can try to hear me out. It has come to my attention that what people think is weird is really not that weird people just say it is. For example, I just joined choir a few weeks ago and I am doing great. Or the fact that I and many others are double majors. It isn't weird to be a double major but some people think that it is weird that a person is a double major in these that don't really go together. For example Accounting Major/Theatre Major and Engineering/Child Development. As I have said many people think that this separate double major is weird but not me. And maybe not you if you were to look at facts.

The fact is that there exists a left and right brain. The left brain is more logic but the right brain is more creative. Logic jobs are the jobs that are very conventional such as Engineering and Accounting. Creative jobs are more Child Development and Theatre. A lot of people are either left or right brain dominant but very few are basically both.

I am one of these people. My brain is 50% logic and 50% creative and not one job is both. And since not one job is both not one major is both. And since not one major is both I have to be double majored and thus double jobed just to be happy. This means that I need more schooling than both.

And schooling is another reason some people have a separate double major. Sometimes students want to go to a school for whatever their reason is but the school only has an online program with a certain major and if you want to stay on campus you would have to take another major. And maybe with choosing this other major it just sounds better to have major x even if it doesn't go with major y. So you take classes in major x and if you like that major you stay with that major.

But whatever the facts a separate double major is something that is to be understood and not weird.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
