I love when people are passionate about something. When you can see it in everything they do; how they speak, and how they carry themselves. I asked people why the chose their major and their answers were filled with passion and joy as they all talked about their careers and their futures.

Health Care:

“Nursing. I wanted to be just like my mom. That turned into me finding a love for caring for people and wanting to make a difference in someone’s life.” - Allison B.

“Nursing. I want to be a nurse that help women feel confident during a vulnerable time.” - Marisa R.

“Audiology. I can assist people with hearing loss through rehabilitation and diagnostic testing. There is a science behind it but it comes with a lot of passion to support it. I’ve always been interested in the brain (music therapy).” - Kailey M.

“Pre-Vet/Animal Science. I freaking love animals and the medical profession. What better way to mix the two than veterinary medicine! It’s very rewarding to have the opportunity to work with animals and see the animal excel as well as the owner.” - Jessica F.

Education:

“Teaching picked me! I wanted to be a step toward a positive change to education as well as to students' lives and possible futures.” - Jenna S.

“Secondary Education. I wanted to help people realize their full potential and find their way through school, and more importantly, through life. I love seeing students light up and work harder when they realize that someone believes in them.” - Kelsey K.

“Elementary and Special Education. I fell in love with special education because I am able to watch my students grow and have them realize the potential that I see in them, disability or not.” - Mariela R.

Business:

“I started working in retail to afford to go to school...which led me to have a passion for sales, customer service and events. It’s ironic, because I never would have found business intriguing, unless I had to work through school” - Kelsey P.

Sciences:

“Biology, allows for many different careers in the same field without having to change your major every time you want to change your path! It’s open to medical and veterinary students, which have been both the paths I have chosen at some point.” - Devyn H.

Arts and Letters:

“Mass Communications with a photography emphasis. I wanted to pursue a major that allowed me to travel because I dream of seeing the world and all the cultures that encompass it.... I want to share the places I’ve been with those who may never get the chance to travel.” - Carolann L.

No matter what you major is, being passionate about it will make you great at it!

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.
