Im Back Again With Outdated Gallagher Girls Memes!!!

I’m back again with outdated gallagher girls memes!!!

I’m having kinda the same problem with finding a travel/culture related major 😬

Global Studies sounds awesommmee 😍🌍

How the heck so you chose a major. I want to study in political science, international relations, psychology, or international business. I want to travel a lot but I know I will have to either make a lot of money or have my job relocate me to a different place every few years. I don’t like stress and don’t feel that confident in my abilities even though I have a 4.3 gpa right now and have done well in school but my social skills are sorely lacking. I just need a helpful hint. Thank you!!

OMG you are going to be totally fine! I’m excited! You’re how old? 17? 19? 23? You already know so much about yourself, which is going to be a huge advantage for you if you can also develop some self-confidence. I say this as a young, self-aware person currently working on my confidence-building. It takes time; it’s a journey, and over time you’ll continue to learn about yourself, your needs, and how to get what you want.

Some previous questions I’ve answered:

What should I major in?

What should I do with my life?

How important is my major?

What if I’m having second thoughts about my life plans?

Here’s what you’ve told me:

I want to study in 

political science, 

international relations, 

psychology, or 

international business. 

I want to travel a lot

I know I will have to either make a lot of money or have my job relocate me to a different place every few years.

I don’t like stress 

and don’t feel that confident in my abilities

I have a 4.3 gpa right now and have done well in school

my social skills are sorely lacking.

These are each separate endeavors, and I encourage you not to think just about your overall dream, but how each of these dreams are different and how they relate to each other.

Given your international and political interests, as well as your desire to travel, I wouldn’t recommend psychology as a major, but taking psychology classes as electives or as a minor could be perfect for you!

If you’re not already in college, I would recommend looking at “global studies” programs. These may help you put your interests together while helping you develop skills toward your desired career. Regardless of where you go to college, I would recommend studying abroad. Arcadia University also has a College of Global Studies; they also partner with colleges that don’t have global studies programs to send students abroad.

At most universities, international relations and political science are likely to be in the same college or department, which would allow you to take classes in both. International business is more likely to be separate, located in a College of Business. 

Try to reach out and email advisors, admissions folks, and faculty in those particular colleges/departments/admissions offices. I know that advice sounds wild, but so many people go into education because they want to help students like you. 

The more you talk to people who know stuff, two things happen:

You know more stuff. 

You feel more confident talking to people who know stuff.

I believe in you! Please do reach out if you need a confidence boost. I’ll be here waving pom poms for you on the sidelines.

Do you ever just…

Want to just BE somewhere SO freaking bad

But CAN’T yet

So you pretty much INHALE all the information you can 

Every Tumblr post, YouTube video, book, TikTok, website, etc.

So that it FEELS like you’re there

But not quite

But now you feel like you know everything there is to know about it

And you’re worried that you’ve ruined it for yourself

Because now maybe it won’t be as exciting or quite as good as you imagined it would be

When you finally get there

IF you finally get there

And you slowly run out of new places to absorb information about it

So now you’re back to waiting

And now you have to find something new to obsess over in the meantime

?

Are you sad that June is over and you don't have a pride month anymore? Fear not, friends! There's a different pride month just beginning! lgballt

What else did they expect?

My generation, generation Z, is going to be the one that changes things for good. In America, after yet another school shooting, instead of just accepting the “our thoughts and prayers to the families” that is normally said, the students actually did something. They began to stand up and speak for harsher gun control laws. These same STUDENTS organised one of the largest protests in AMERICAN HISTORY, with an estimated 1.2 - 2 million people taking part in over 800 cities world wide. 

We are a generation raised in a society of “girls rule boys drool”, of girls being given toy kitchens and hoovers whilst boys played with cars, Lego and army men, of girls being told to wear skirts and be careful to sit so you don’t accidentally flash your underwear whilst boys were told to run free and do whatever they want.

But, we are also the generation that grew up on a diet of tales about heroes and villains where the heroes stand up and win. We grew up on Percy Jackson, Harry Potter, The Hunger Games, Divergent and Marvel movies. All things where the heroes fight back and WIN. But then the adults stripped away our hope, our futures and then backed an unqualified business man for president over a woman with political experience and they’re shocked children are fighting back. They’re surprise that we’re all like the heroes we grew up with. What else did they expect when we are the generation raised in the aftermath of 911, the recession, the Iraq war, the 7/7 bombings and increasing numbers of terror attacks? We grew up with Disney movies that taught us to speak our minds, to let ourselves to be heard and now this generation has begun to speak out.

In the word of Thomas Jefferson, the 3rd President of the United States, 

“Every generation needs a new revolution.” 

This is ours. In America, they fight for stricter gun control laws. Everywhere, we fight for equality for EVERYBODY.

The generations that came before us may have began the battle for equality, but we’re the generation that will fix it.

It was always going to be us.

Why wouldn’t it be us?
