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.

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.

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.
