1. You get a little high on life when your balance sheet balances.

Giphy

NOTHING CAN BEAT THIS FEELING! Balancing a balance sheet is addicting.

2. Contrary to popular belief you are not boring.

Giphy

Just because you like accounting does not make you boring! You know how to have fun too.

3. You know what the Big Four are and have dreams of working for one in the future.

Giphy

Ahh yes the Big Four - the ultimate goal. They are amazing and you want a spot in one so badly.

4. Accounting does NOT equal tax!

Giphy

There are four branches - tax, audit, advisory, and consulting - and within each, there are different sections.

5. You either like financial accounting or managerial accounting better.

Giphy

It all depends on how your mind works.

6. You love accounting puns.

Giphy

"It's an accrual world." "LIFO the party." "Work your asset off." "Be audit you can be."

7. You dread the CPA.

Giphy

It is hard to pass, but at least you only need a 75 - on every section that is.

8. When you hear the word gap, you immediately think of GAAP.

Giphy

GAAP = the rules to live by.

9. You lowkey have dreams of finding fraud.

Giphy

You probably never will, but you can dream right?

10. People think you are a math genius.

Giphy

Nope - just really good at using my calculator and knowing which number goes where.

11. Speaking of calculators, you are very attached to yours and have certain ones for different things.

Giphy

Your calculator is like your right arm.

12. You know that debits = credits and assets = liabilities + stockholder's equity.

Never forget these - you will fail your classes.

13. People ask you to do their taxes.

Giphy

Again, you may not even do tax.

14. Usually you enter the work force in audit or tax.

Giphy

And then you can move around.

15. You love the rules associated with accounting (and are probably a rule follower yourself).

Giphy

Accounting is all about following the rules.

16. You know the struggle of balancing networking, case competitions, classes, and extracurriculars.

Giphy

Anything for your future!

17. You did the Volunteer Income Tax Assitance (VITA) program if your school has it.

Giphy

So cool to get hands on experience early.

18. You plan your life around doing leadership programs one summer, an internship the next summer, and then working full time for a firm.

Giphy

Even accounting recruiting for jobs is structured.

19. 150 is your magic number.

Giphy

150 credits to sit for the CPA exam that is. You will either cram them into four years or do a Masters in Accounting.

20. You cannot imagine being any other major!

Giphy

Accounting has your heart!

Accounting is an awesome career path! Good luck and thank your awesome accounting professors for teaching you all that you know!

15 Female TV Characters Who Prove That Women Actually Rule

We Heart It

Over the past decade, television has undergone a very crucial transition: the incorporation of female lead characters. Since it's a known fact that girls actually do run the world (Beyonce said so herself), it's time for the leading ladies of the small screen to get some credit. Without these characters, women would still be sitting in the background of our favorite shows. These women are not only trailblazers for female empowerment, but role models for women worldwide. With that, here are 15 of the smartest, sassiest ladies gracing our screens that remind us that women do, indeed, rule:
