You know you’re an HSS major when:
- Your SSE and ACF friends think that you are doing the ‘chillest’ major.
- Your SSE and ACF friends think you have the ‘chillest’ class schedule.
- Nobody has heard of your degree.
- And if they have, they wince a little because it sounds pretty useless.
- Your building is not called the HSS building. Even the Law students have a Law building now.
- Your vocabulary is significantly larger than most students of other schools.
- When you argue that Pakistani society needs to expand their thinking and educational institutions should diversify the range of subjects being taught.
- When people think you have a lot of free time.
- When econ majors think their major is the better major.
- When your ACF and SSE friends handle all the bills whenever you go out for dinner because you can’t handle numbers – that’s why you’re doing HSS.
- When your readings per day are hundred pages long but nobody seems to understand the struggle.
- When your non HSS friends ask you to correct their WnC essays. Or rather write them.
- When you don’t know whether you should major in Econ or Econ & Pol.
- When your non HSS friends decide to take HSS out group courses because they think it will be easy.
- When your parents periodically ask you: what do you plan on doing with your life?
- When your friends periodically ask you: what are you doing with your life?
- When you ask yourself periodically: what am I doing with my life?
