Stop hating on different majors, people.

Yes, My Major Matters
EMAZE

Too many people criticize college students majors in today's world. If you are anything that doesn't fall under a certain category of math or science you are expected to either have excellent grades or all the free time in the world. As a communications major, I see it way too often. I strongly believe there are people out there that think students choose the majors they do because of the workload levels. Do you think I chose my major because it is easier than Engineering? No, I chose it because it's what I want to do for the rest of my life. I apologize that my interests don't fall under the same category as yours.

Regardless of your major, minor, etc., college is college. Everyone has the same 124 credit hours to graduate, the homework, the studying, and the finals. Just because someone's major might not seem as difficult, doesn't mean they are not working their ass off in order to succeed. You're right, an advertising major does not do the same things as an electrical engineer major, but I would never say any major is "easy" because of the lack of math and science courses required to take.

All majors are so completely different and require so many different skills, that it is irrelevant to compare one to another. Education majors do not do even an ounce of the same thing that nursing majors do. Same goes for accounting majors and sports com majors. So why are you comparing them?

Looking at the big picture, everyone owes respect to one another's major. Putting down someone's major is putting down what that person is passionate about and what they are skilled in. So next time you want to say someones major is "easy" or "unemployable", think about why you truly chose your major and realize that they are in the same boat by picking a major that they care about and want to do for the rest of their life.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
