Being a journalism major in college is great! We’re always learning something new and interesting every day, so it never gets boring. And when finals week comes along, we’re not slaving away at the library, studying for hours on end. Instead, we get to sit in the comfort of our own bed, typing up a final paper or article(which is fun to us). But of course, every major has it’s flaws, as well. Here are the signs that prove you’re a journalism major.
1. You’re a grammar nazi
2. You thrive on deadlines
3. Social media is your best friend
4. Math is not your strong suit
5. You’re the first one to know what’s going on at your college
6. You read the newspaper and/or magazines for fun
7. You wish you could be Carrie Bradshaw
8. Coffee is your life
9. You hate when people tell you, “journalism is dead”(which isn’t true, by the way)
10. You sometimes get emotional when someone compliments you on your article
11. You’re friends/aquaintances with the people you’ve interviewed on campus
12. You hate transcribing interviews
13. But not as much as you hate people who give you short or generic answers
14. You brag about your major because you love it and couldn’t see yourself doing anything else
