"What's your major?"
Them: What's your major? Me: Communication! Them: Oh so it's not a real major... No. I'm not pre-med, or an engineer, or a math guru, or a science geek. But you know what? My major is just as real as yours. I may not have to go to 5+ years of schooling just to get my degree, but you know what? My major is just as real as yours. You're not better than me because you're "smarter." I am following my passion. I am trying to live my dreams. And in one sentence, you've crushed me. You may be a mechanical engineer. But guess what? My major is just as real as yours. Sure, school is harder for you. I can't disagree there. But while you sweat over 50 optional math problems, I have 6 papers and a speech due next week. I have to design a logo for a company that doesn't exist and shoot exactly 5 minutes worth of video on a topic that has yet to be determined. And you know what? My major is just as real as yours. You'll find a job after school easily. No sweat. There's always a need for people like you. But guess who has to work for it? Guess who has to network and communicate and design and lose sleep at night? The person with the "fake" major. You see. I may not have a "real" major in your eyes. To you, all my video projects and creative essays may seem like child's play compared to your lab reports and calculus equations. But it's what I am good at. Its what I like. It's what I am passionate about. Just like you. You're at one end of the spectrum and I am at the other. But that doesn't make either of us any less or more important than each other. Now that you know a little more about me. Can't you agree? My major IS JUST AS REAL AS YOURS.
