18 Things All Communication Majors Are Tired Of Hearing
"What is that anyway?"
1. "Communication? Oh... that's... cool, I guess."
The coolest tbh.
2. "What is that anyway?"
The world's best kept secret apparently.
3. "So are you just learning how to talk to people?"
Learning how to ignore people is part of it too.
4. "I mean... everyone already knows how to communicate though."
Well damn, guess you got me there. *drops out*
5. "Are you planning to be a news anchor?"
The best you've ever seen.
6. "You can be my publicist when I'm famous."
Famous for what?
7. "You do film analysis? I love movies!"
Micro-analyze every frame then come talk to me.
8. "How hard can a social media class even be?"
Only speak to me in 140 characters or less.
9. "So you basically live on Twitter then?"
I'm unfollowing you.
10. "You're exaggerating. Comm theory can't be that hard."
Moonlighting as a philosopher is no walk in the park.
11. "I wish my major was half as easy as yours."
Do you want to write my back-to-back 10 page papers on hegemonic power structures?
12. “Why are you so awkward? You're supposed to be a people person!"
Public speaking is just as toxic to me as it is you.
13. "What major did you fail out of first?"
Believe it or not, this was my first choice. Shocking.
14. "You're just doing this until you declare something more practical, right?
The shade.
15. "My homework would be so much easier if I could do it in a group like you."
You try getting a group to meet when everyone is busy 150% of the time.
16. "Your essays are just creative writing."
Proving that some cartoon birds represent patriarchy isn't "easy."
17. "... so can you help me with my essays?"
"Easy," you said. *takes a sip*
18. "Can you get a real job with that?"
Only the ones you wish you had.
