What's your major? I'm majoring in Sandwich Generation with a minor in Allergies

Anonymous
My DD just asked my 68 y.o. cousin if she is in school, and my cousin laughed and said she's always in school. She's majoring in Home Remodel For Newly Disabled Husbands right now.

And I'm majoring in Sandwich; my courses right now are in Hospice 101 and Navigating Teen Crazy; I am also taking a two week intensive seminar in Our Taxes/Mom's Taxes and I somehow accidentally signed up for My Brother's Taxes and it's too late to drop!

So how about you?

I guess I’m majoring in f’ing menopause and minoring in everything p*sses me off unless I have a glass of wine and some really good dark chocolate. I’m starting to explore the deal with your own problems and stop trying to make them my problems department. The deeper I dive in, the more I’m considering switching majors.

Majoring in NPD/BPD/DPD ILs and minoring in "Avoidance by Being Incommunicado"/.

Writing an essay in my creative writing class called "When not be brave".

Every once in a while I take a break and exercise by doing a fast workout called "How to clean your house when you are expecting guests in 20 minutes".

I have the same major and many of the same courses! I’m also taking a course in managing hot flashes and a cold at the same time. Luckily I did just finish my mom’s taxes and I think it is possible, although unlikely, that I didn’t make any major mistakes.

My advisor is a b!tch and signed me up for wayyyyy too many courses this semester. Seriously a BA in Just Trying To Survive shouldn’t require:

Stepson with new onset psychosis 101
Sister with DUI and leaving husband 202
Husband Insane Stress 101
Tween attitude 204
Helping mom with elder care planning 201

And I still have to work 50 hours a week. Maybe next semester I can get a new advisor, if I make it through this semester

OMG—I think we’re in the same classes! I hope you’re doing better than me. Pretty sure I’m totally failing unless I can pull it off for the final!!!

Forgot to add I also accidentally signed up for Total Uterine Disintegration, which isn’t nearly as interesting as it sounded and I’m trying to figure out how I can get out of that one before the final.

Majoring in Widowhood and minoring in Teen Anxiety and Depression. Special seminar on elderly parent meeting new love interest and making idiotic decisions. Really hope I make it through this semester, but all the work is hitting me at once!

My elective is Rescue Dog Shedding and Death Farts.

I was majoring in Ignoring Marital Problems Until They Blow Up but I don't really like it and I'm trying to switch. I have an evening seminar called Volatile Kindergartener, which is engaging but the homework is all over the place.

I had to drop P.E., although my advisor warned me not to put it off too long.

I’m majoring in planning a move with a toddler and a baby, which requires coursework in keeping the house clean at all times while managing toys.

My tuition is in the form of daycare for two aforementioned small children.

My electives include: survival on little sleep, negotiating child sick days with your spouse, and like a PP I am taking rescue dog shedding.
