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.

11 Things Summer Nannies Can Relate To

There are plenty of obstacles that come when taking care of kids, but it's a very rewarding experience.

As a college student, being a nanny over the summer is both enjoyable and challenging. Underneath the seemingly perfect trips to the pool or countless hours spent playing Monopoly are the obstacles that only nannies will understand. Trading in your valuable summer vacation in return for three months spent with a few children less than half your age may seem unappealing, but so many moments make it rewarding. For my fellow summer nannies out there, I know you can relate.

There are a lot of really easy, common names in the U.S. and while many of those simple names have different spellings, most of the time, pronunciation is not an issue that those people need to worry about. However, others are not as fortunate and often times give up on corrections after a while. We usually give an A+ for effort. So, as you could probably imagine, there are a few struggles with having a name that isn’t technically English. Here are just a few…

Puerto Ricans. They are very proud people and whether they were born on the island or born in the United States by Puerto Rican parent(s). It gets even better when they meet another fellow Puerto Rican or Latino in general. You’ll know quickly if they are Puerto Rican whether the flag is printed somewhere on their person or whether they tell you or whether the famous phrase “wepa!” is said.
