What Is Weird Can Make Sense

An educational look at a separate double major.

What Is Weird Can Make Sense

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.

As college students, we are all familiar with the horror show that is course registration week. Whether you are an incoming freshman or selecting classes for your last semester, I am certain that you can relate to how traumatic this can be.

1. When course schedules are released and you have a conflict between two required classes.

Bonus points if it is more than two.

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

As an English Major in college, I have a lot of writing and especially creative writing pieces that I work on throughout the semester and sometimes, I'll find it hard to get the motivation to type a few pages and the thought process that goes behind it. These are eleven thoughts that I have as a writer while writing my stories.

April Ludgate

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
