Why You Choose It, Why You Regret It...

I am having a very busy day at work and didn't get a chance to write some awkward weird story about myself at lunch, so this is going to have to suffice for the day. I saw this article on cracked.com and I would like to add my majors to it.

First check out the original.

AMERICAN STUDIES:

Why You Choose It: One, you don't know any better. Two, you get to take fun classes like Homosexuality in America, Music as History and Property, and Women's Studies: From Seneca Falls to Sex and the City.

Why You Regret It: Four years. You get four years of bragging to your business and engineering friends about your cool and easy as shit classes until you all graduate and you can't get a job and everyone else is making 60,000 a year. Then your life turns into blog posts and Popsicles for dinner.

HISTORY:

Why You Choose It: Braveheart is a great movie and you probably had a simi decent history teacher in high school. For an incoming freshmen these two things equal "I love history".

Why You Regret It: Little twerps like Miles, actually reading history books (no, this doesn't include The Other Boleyn Girl), and history professors that are more into looking the part with tortoise shell glasses and tweed jackets with elbow patches than helping you with your 15 paper review of "With Our Backs to Berlin". Oh, and then you can't get a job either and your engineering friends feel sorry for you behind your back.
