There are always arguments over whether or not art majors or STEM majors are "better" or "more useful." No matter which side you take on that, if you're an arts major you can definitely agree that being around a bunch of STEM students can be hella awkward, and you may encounter one or more of these situations.

1. They'll be discussing their tough exams, and you can't remember the last time you had one.

You'll probably get a lot of side-eye from them at first for this one, but then you explain that instead of exams you write a lot of papers, or go through critiques.

2. They'll use a lot of words you won't understand...

All you remember from high school biology is that the mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell.

3. ...but there are plenty of words of yours that they won't get.

We all have our own little sets of vocabulary.

4. You may feel like you're less intelligent because you aren't a science student.

This isn't true! We're all good at different things, and you just chose to pursue a different math than them. Intelligence isn't measured by which major you chose.

5. You'll probably get asked what you want to do with your degree.

But then again, you get that from everyone.

6. They may think your degree is "easier" than theirs.

Again, intelligence is not measured by major. The workload may be a bit different, but not really able to be compared, considering you're comparing two totally different subjects.

7. You can definitely help each other out!

Stuck on a tough math problem? Talk to a math major. Need help editing your paper? Ask an English major. We all bring different things to the table.

The infamous RBF is something I have and am known for. It’s kind of exhausting to be asked if you're okay all the time or being told to smile more. Girls with RBF get judged to be mean and rude much quicker than the girl who is always smiling. It’s true and just plain natural for someone who is generally smiling all the time to come off as more trustworthy and I've gotten used to it. I used to think that having a Resting Bitch Face was only a bad thing until I realized that just like anything else, it also has its perks. Having a permafrown with a piercing look comes with great power.

We all know that Parks and Recreation is one of the greatest shows ever to air on TV. As we watched every episode, we all found a piece of us in each character (even Jerry).

Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.
