English Major

Along with Philosophy and Int'l Relations, English is arguably the most difficult college major in the Humanities. This is largely due to the fact that being an English major encompasses the study of several other fields, including, but not limited to philosophy, psychology, history, sociology, law, and political science. English majors read and write far more than any other major, and offen suffer from severe caffeine addiction (or worse), insomnia, and manic depression.

Despite what lobotomized Business Majors believe, English majors (like many humanities majors) seek graduate school enrollment and end up with J.D.s, M.B.A.s, L.L.M.s, or Ph.D.s. Thus, they end up in lucrative careers with sexyass women. But best of all, they actually learn how to think and generally live rewarding lives because of that.

English Major: "Dude, we're seniors! I can't believe how much I've learned over the past three years! How about you?"
Business Major: "Excel and Powerpoint."
English Major: "... and?"
Business Major: "That's it."
English Major: "... 3 years of college and that's all you know?"
Business Major: "Yup. But Ima still be rich."
English Major: "Sooo you essentially just paid over $100,000 for Excel and Powerpoint lessons, but you'll still be rich?"
Business Major: "Hellz yeah d00d."
English Major: *facepalm*

engineering major

Borderline insane pursuit of a conceptual understanding of the physical principles underlying everyday machines that can be operated without this understanding.

Mechanic: Have you ever changed your own oil?

Engineering Major: No, but do you know chemically how the gas you put into your engine produces the heat necessary to power the engine, as well as how this heat is converted to usable mechanical work?

Mechanic: ... That will be $43.50.

history major

One of the only true majors out there. One of the only majors where you receive a real education. All "great" people had some knowledge of history. An opposite of this major would be a Business Administration Major. One does not necessarily have to become a history teacher upon graduation. Hell, a history major without much direction could become that business major's boss someday.

Oh, you're a Business major? What you're still taking ESL classes? No, not all history majors become teachers.

Business Major

Students whom couldn't handle a real academic path, and are now Excel jockies. They yell "BOOM!" in your residence halls while others with actual degrees (IE: Electrical Engineering) are progressing themselves academically via homework and studying.

Resident 1: That kid is always roaming the halls yelling "BOOM!" and smashing his face into walls.

Resident 2: That would be a classic symptom of being a "Business Major."
