I often find myself surrounded by groups of people who take on the majors of biology or chemistry and are either pre-medicine or pre-dentistry. 

Frankly, a lot of my friends fall under these majors and whenever I am out studying with them, I feel so small.  

I feel inferior to those who seem to be able to solve chemistry equations or understand biology concepts.  

I envy them because I feel like they are put on a pedestal. 

I am a journalism and psychology double major and to most that seems “easy” and less work, and many people look down on me for that.  

Do not get me wrong, people in these majors do work quite hard and what they have to go through academically is rigorous and impressive.  

However, I feel that we should not discredit those other majors that do not partake in those fields.   

I’ve learned that we are all different people, and we are all working towards different goals in life.  

As a Creighton student who is not in the School of Nursing or partaking in a major that includes natural sciences, or even under the pre-professional track of the medical field, I originally saw myself as just a journalism major and immediately felt inferior to those around me.  

Most of my friends and people I know in general are studying to become a doctor, dentist or are part of the nursing program.  

This was one of the main reasons I took up a double major in psychology.  

Just because my workload seems to be “less” than yours does not mean it is any less useful.  

I do give credit to those who have to study hard every day for a test or exam they have.  

However, that does not give them a valid reason to discredit the rest of us who are purely not interested in those kinds of things.  

What if I just simply do not like science or math and am just better at writing?  

What if I just simply don’t see myself enjoying being a doctor or nurse?   

I feel like all majors should be treated the same and equally as we are all working hard towards a career in the end.  

The world would not be spinning if everyone was just a doctor or nurse or biologist of some sort. 

For a working and well-kept society, we need to have journalists, businessmen, teachers, accountants, psychologists and lawyers.  

Not everything is reliant on people who have a degree in one certain field.  

Therefore, I think we should credit everyone and not look down on others that seem to have “more” free time and “less” work because that really is not the case.  

We are all running on our own paths in which we all have to go through rough patches and obstacles to make it to the final destination.
