#international relations major

[senatortedcruz]

Having a very hard time coming to terms with the fact that I was a college freshman 10 years ago

#do I look like an economics and international relations double major to you? #no I look like a woman living a wasted life!

i feel like keith could absolutely terrify normal/rational people (hunk, lance) by coming up with the weirdest most complicated way to fix the most simple problem. shiro is very used to it so he isn’t scared anymore

i think keith and pidge are two sides of the same raccoon-macgyver-packrat coin, but whereas pidge is a #WomenInSTEM👩‍🔬, keith is an unhinged liberal arts major

#I think keith plays the Oregon trail and wins every time #I still maintain that keith is the sole humanities major amid a sea of stem majors #allura is part of the larger liberal arts pool (she’s like international relations or something) #Keith is like a history major or maybe a Korean/Asian studies major #ask #anonymous #katiecanons #I guess

three shots in trying to figure out what bradley was planning on doing with his poli sci degree if getting in the navy didn’t pan out

#(as someone who also has a poli sci degree) #he does nawt have the personality of a politician AT ALL #usually w psci majors its either public service or a predecessor for law school #which i can see more but like. bradley would have gotten one semester in and realized he fucking hates it i feel like 😭 #mr ‘i have to raise my voice when i argue so they dont notice it shaking’. hes kinda just like me #ik OCS requires at least a bachelors degree but poli sci is so random to make yourself look like a better candidate LMFAOOOO #i really think he was planning on law school as a back up for the navy and probably had a minor in like history or something #he would be the type to take military history and international relations classes. #in my head hes a psci major w a history minor that takes social work classes on the side #which is partially my own self projection but also i think he would make a good social worker with the way he grew up #anyways. sorry for the rambling in the tags (not really) #Hi if you made it all the way down here #i love bradley so much. can you tell. #carolcore

officially switched my minor today from creative writing to politics (international relations). simultaneous “it’s so over/we’re so back” feeling

#what is employable? 😰 #i got into university for international relations & switched out… real 18 year old idiot moment #you adults who follow me: does anyone give a shit what you majored in in college or #like actually

this is more of a personal commentary because I don't think it's my place to police anyone but when people write the fire nation as homophobic as a shorthand for them being bad it doesn't come across the way you think

#I just keep reading a lot of literature about pink washing and fr the way some of you do it is cringey TO ME #again TO ME #reading about us vs china international relations styles #cause basically the us is like everyone needs my morals #whereas china is like I just need you all to think of me as ur pal ur buddy ur ally #and the demonisation of countries that don't allow ss marriage when the majority of the time they are in fact #being colonised #and it's a result of the colonisation and pushback against western imperialism culture and former colonial laws etc #idk I'll probably have like #more coherent thoughts about this at some other point #I need to sleep on these thoughts

once again I still think finn and Liz are better as friends, but also I think what’s very irritating about this pairing is that they aren’t really playing a part in any major plotlines rn, so seeing them show up feels like these two have been paired together to hit contract minimums in the meantime, like they’re in this romance story holding pattern until the writers figure out what to do next…

#pentababbles #general hospital #now of course. not every character needs to be contributing to a major plotline all the time #but with fiz it feels like this awkward romance is their whole plot… #comparing to other couples most of the others at least serve multiple plot functions #chalynn has the internal conflict of blq committing corporate espionage threatening to undermine the relationship again #and the external conflicts of blq’s dad being an amnesiac while chase is investigating a murder #sprina has the internal conflict of spencer having to raise his brother with clingy Esme #and the external conflict of Trina’s paternity reveal + Curtis getting shot + Portia’s neurotic ass #sante hasn’t had too much internal conflict they’re mostly chilling #but both of them are involved in external investigations related to major plots #fiz hasn’t had much going for them in a while. aside from passively remarking on what some other main characters are doing… #…they’re pretty disengaged from everything else. #last time they had a relevant plot it was mostly retconning Liz’s history to try making Finn relevant (flop btw) #and then Liz helping nik keep Esme prisoner and confessing to the crime. what now? #like idk much about Finn but Liz is a character with a 25 year history theres gotta be SOMETHING y’all can work with here #ugh whatever I’m in my hater era again lol

this is incredibly dumb, but I get such a warm feeling out of something if I feel it's "Connected to History" in some vague narrativized way.

had this happen last night where I got a small block of chihuahua cheese as a snack for the walk home, and eating it prompted me to meditate on Chicago as the largest "trade outpost" in the US -- the confluence of wheat, soybean, dairy, and meat shipments by rail or by barge (likely via the northern branches of the Missouri, but the Mississippi may be involved) and the connection to the Mississippi shipping system (by way of literally reversing the flow of the Chicago River, no I will not shut up about that) producing meatpacking plants in the city itself, bringing about a local cuisine culture that heavily relies on cured/smoked/otherwise naturally preserved meats, then that logistics network combined with the icecar brings about the possibility of the dairy farmers of Wisconsin beginning to specialize in their creameries, leading to further developments in the Americanization of various foreign foods, such as the Michigander adoption of "brick cheese" as a component of a pizza cheese mix that I've seen slowly get reincorporated into the newer pizza places' recipes (god, if only I could track regional incorporation of Muenster as a pizza cheese over time).

Why do I think like this? I'm not even sure I've gotten all the facts right!

#anyways id bet this is related to the Midwest's major internal cultural export becoming craft beer

okay but r being lonely by himself eating a sandwich on a little bench doesn’t get me as much as s eating dinner at a table full of people and nobody talking to him actually.

i thought of him sitting on the stairs listening to music play and people laugh in the distant and got Very Upset.

see i can take lonely s i can enjoy it even because i often feel he could stand 2 be taken down a peg or two at least until the whole prison era he has going on. ALTHOUGH admittedly the image you conjure does upset me i am more fond of him than i expect my blogging habits would suggest however. r is my most special little princess and well if HE was at a table full of people and nobody was talking to him i would have to set myself on fire most likely

#telegram #siriuslemonmuffin #the thing is i think r suffers loneliness in a much. sadder and more pathetic way like i think he thinks he truly deserves it #day in day out. also fyi this is not based on canon nor is it based on my genuine interpretation of these characters its just based on #the tiny versions of them that lived in my house. but yes there is something so much more pathetic about r being lonely #whereas s being lonely it is like. hes just not a lonely guy it is surely a passing state of existence he will set the dinner table on fire #if it comes to it. also only slightly related but you know when people #go like 'nobody asked :-/' when someone says something just to b mean and embarrass them. yes well if someone did that to r i would #throw up the majority of my internal organs i think. can you imagine. oh dont i have to stop

#ended up one on one with our intern today #she was like ''so what year did you finish your undergrad again?'' #um. 2023 #''like? this year?'' #yep #''so...how did you get this job?'' #girl. I applied #idk what to tell you #weird vibes bc she like has a master's degree and stuff #but is a newcomer to the field #vs. I did a college major and two separate internships that are directly related to this job #which is more or less what I said to her #but yeah she asked me if I thought our team would hire anyone new full time anytime soon #and like. the true answer is. no and also if we were you would probably not get hired #but obviously I did not say that #anyway idk what my point is #perfectly normal things for an intern to be asking and also good for her #maybe just set off some more imposter-syndrome-esque feelings for me #and also idk just in general. don't like when people have the mindset that something I have trained and studied and practiced for #is something that anyone can. just do. with the same level of quality #especially bc I am still so inexperienced compared to my coworkers #and also. this girl has less experience than me but is very confident and well spoken and I still feel like a frightened deer

No matter how good you are in terms with someone. You should never trust people blindly, they can and will backstab you if and when it comes to their personal interests and feeding their ego. They can become evil and unrecognizable.

ive been saying it before but i really actually can imagine seb going to uni when he's done, maybe not doing a full bachelor's degree or anything but maybe doing a semester of being a guest at lectures like you can do sometimes?

#i could see him have a combination like major engineering minor social studies or international relations idk #just because i think he'd enjoy something to work his mind on #also because i imagine it must be beautiful to have your and your familys future secured at 35 and just fuck around. #study something new every semester who cares? you're learning!
