I've come to grow extremely jealous of other majors lately: business, sports studies, and education majors to name a few.

It's not because of the actual content which they are studying. I've taken classes for those majors previously and the content didn't always relate to or excite me, but it seems as though they kind of have it easy for one reason or another. I enjoy a challenge and I enjoy hard work, but not necessarily exhaustion. (That might have been a bit of a stretch, but really) I look around at my friends school work and wonder how the heck do you never have homework, and where do I sign up for what you're signed up for?

I get a little comfort when I hear those same friends say that they actually haven't learned anything in their time studying. The jealousy creeps back up a little when they tell me they answered 10 questions on a test right but still received a 94, until I realize that coddling won't get them far after graduation.

I think back and realize all that I have learned that actually will help me after I graduate. While I may have only gotten a B on that paper, the concepts I learned through writing the paper and through studying the subject will stick around longer than the remembrance of the grade.

Hard work always pays off in the end.
