What Will You Do With That Major?
US News

Have you ever been asked, "what are you going to do with that?" There are a plethora of different majors at every college for students to pick through and do exactly what they like. Southern New Hampshire University has diverse majors from business, and education, all the way to video game designing, to creative writing. All of these majors, whether or not they are similar to every university, or unique to only some have many students interested in them. An interesting major that is unique to Southern New Hampshire University is Creative Writing.

Creative Writing is one of those majors in which people ask, "what are you going to do with that?" There are many options for those who study in the creative writing field. For instance, becoming a published author is the big goal many students in this major have. Succeeding at this goal is possible, but more difficult without training and networking that school provides.



Just because english majors cannot go off and run their own companies, or art majors cannot become a scientist, or a doctor with their majors doesn't mean they can't find an equally successful job. English majors can do what they love, and even make it big. They can publish their work, they can teach, they can work in publishing houses, write for magazines, become reviewers, because there are a plethora of jobs designed for english majors.

Students go to school to do something with their lives, they go to school to become educated, and to later find a job within that field. Why would this process be any different for english and creative writing majors? At the end of our schooling we are off to find the same thing everyone else has. A career.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

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."

"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!
