The Struggles of Being a Political Science Major

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

1. People constantly ask you what political party you identify as.

2. People assume we all want to be lawyers.

Even though there is nothing wrong with going to law school, it’s not fair to assume that every political science major wants to go.

3. People ask if the political system is like political shows like The Newsroom or Veep

4. There are so many essays!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

5. People believe your major is easy.

6. You can automatically tell what political party your professors lean toward without them even having tell you.
