Your College Major Based Upon Ice Cream Flavors

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Utica chapter.

College is like an ice cream parlor. Each ice cream container in the cooler represents different personalities you meet in your four years. With that, people with similar personalities tend to like the same things and choose the same major fields. You will notice that people in your field of major have very similar personalities and qualities as you do. When you look at other major fields, you can tell that the people in it belong together.  While winter is almost approaching us, let’s talk about the different flavors of ice cream and which major fields each ice cream flavor represents. Because really, ice cream is a year round dessert.

Vanilla: English/ Literature Majors

These people love classics. Whether it is a classic story or the art of oral/written language. Although they are very creative by adding sprinkles, chocolate syrup, and marshmallows, the basis of their work is on classic tales and methods.

Chocolate: History Majors

Chocolate is also a classic flavor. It is a flavor that has been used since the dawn of time. It’s what has held each of us together. History has changed from mint chocolate chip to cookies and cream, but the backbone of chocolate is what keeps these flavors together. It’s different than a base because it doesn’t support other information, but rather is the foundation of information. That is why history majors are like chocolate ice cream.

Coffee: Business Majors

People in this major eat coffee ice cream because of the aesthetics of it. Just like when you are holding a coffee while you are walking ten minutes late to your next class. Some people actually like the flavor, but others use it as a way to have it in their hand, showing that “I am a hard working person who needs coffee to survive” without actually taking a sip.

Mint Chocolate Chip: Biology

Mint chocolate chip is probably the best flavor out there (by my bias opinion). It’s minty fresh, with a bit of sweet indulgence. Biology majors can include doctors, nurses, physical therapist, biochemist, neuro, etc. Mint chocolate chip can be peppermint, chocolate chips, chocolate chunks, chocolate swirls, etc. While each flavor of mint chocolate chip has different elements that make it slightly different, each mint chocolate chip ice cream carries the same great taste.

 

Moose Tracks: Psychology

Psychology majors are everywhere. They are thinking about behavior, cognition, physical, environment, you name it. Everything happens for a reason. Moose tracks is that flavor that many like, but has many different interactions and tastes involved. There is the vanilla ice cream with an explosion of peanut butter chunks and chocolate swirl. Sweet and salty, creamy and crunchy, all working together to come up with an answer.

Pistachio: Engineers

Just like why people question your choice of ice cream, why do you major in this field of interest that is so complex. You’re basically a physics major, but with a little more social skills.

Black Raspberry: Communication Majors

Black Raspberry knows how to flow so smoothly and give that creamy goodness that ice cream lovers wants. Communication majors know how to, well, communicate. Give the people what they want to hear. With a touch of sweetness.

Sherbert: Undecided

While Sherbert isn’t really an ice cream flavor, it’s a choice that many ice cream parlors have. It is an option if you are undecided on what ice cream flavor to get, but without losing anything in the process. Sherbert gives you a little bit of creaminess with a good fruity taste to give you something that is worth it for the time being.

 

College is like an ice cream parlor. Each major has their own flavor with their own personality and taste. Some people add toppings but still have the basis of their overall major. Some colleges offer more flavors than others. Overall, it’s a sweet place to be!!

Meet Bianca, I am currently a Junior at Utica College in Utica, NY.  I am a Criminal Justice major with a concentration in Homeland Security.  Crime investigation has always been something that interests me.  I’m dedicated and passionate and it’s hard for me to quit things. I get that from my father so don’t hold it against me- he was a veteran and police officer for 20 years.   Growing up in a family centered around law enforcement has helped guide me in this direction, and I will forever be grateful.  After graduation I intend to continue on to law school where I can further my education in hopes of becoming a criminal defense lawyer and later on a District Attorney.  An interesting fact about myself is that I found the passion to be a criminal defense lawyer from watching the O.J. Simpson case.  The facts and conspiracy theories evoked a whole new passion behind criminal investigation that I intend to use in my future.  One of my most prominent moments in my writing career was when I wrote for an online magazine and had my most prevalent article hit 1.6k shares.  I believe in treating people with the same kind of respect and manners you would expect in return, and in a way it has helped shaped my expectations in life.   When you first meet me I won’t be the loudest in the room or the center of attention, but I will be intently listening to everything you say, for what you have to say may have a purpose. I believe in purpose. I believe that everyone is here to help you grow into who you are today and who you will be tomorrow.
