I wish someone had told me that your major doesn’t define your entire life. I spent so much time panicking over my choice, thinking if I didn’t land the “perfect” major, I’d end up living in my parents’ basement forever. But honestly, most of my friends who followed their passions anyway ended up in jobs completely unrelated to their degrees and are much happier because of it. If I could go back, ...
College is basically one long episode of "Survivor" but with more ramen and fewer tribal councils.

I just had the most surreal experience at a college party that made me question everything about the past four years. I ended up in a deep conversation with a philosophy major who firmly believes we should all drop out and start a band instead of chasing degrees. As he passionately argued the merits of living your truth over student loans and exams, I couldn't help but feel a tiny spark of rebelli...
