A Writing Major In A Sea Of Science Majors
Asset-cache

I have been blessed with many very intelligent friends with majors ranging anywhere from mechanical engineering to social justice and welfare studies, making my friend group both diverse and talented. That being said, a majority of my friends are science-based majors: engineering, nursing, pre-physicians assistant, pre-dental, all of that good stuff. Don’t get me wrong, I love having all of these science-loving friends, but there are some things that we just can’t relate to. They’ll have a full body scan exam looking for possible abnormalities of the skin while I have a ten page paper to write in two days—we’re just different. Nevertheless, it’s both wonderful and tragic. Here are a few experiences I’ve had with my lovely friends:

1. My engineering friend trying to explain what dynamics is.

My head hurts. Please stop.

2. When they mention a class they're taking that doesn't even sound like a real word.

Example: Ergonomics. What?

3. When your friends make another creative friend.

How dare you.

4. When they're all sharing notes for their science classes and studying together while I'm writing my 15-page paper due tomorrow.

Oh, don't mind me, I'll just be alone in this corner if you need me.

5. When they're all bonding over medical and science things and you're just like...

Speak English, please.

7. When they're done with their tests but your paper isn't done.

Oh, don't worry about me, I'm fine!

8. When your Nursing and Pre-PA friends say you have great veins for taking blood.

Thank you?

9. When someone says their major is harder than yours because it's "only writing."

Excuse me?


Stay strong my fellow writing majors. We got this.

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
