Most of us have had the 'what are you studying?' conversation, so much so that it has become a rehearsed dance where you get the same responses over and over again. Twitter user @hannahleidazle decided to poke fun at these groan-worthy conversations with the "what's your major" thread which has since evolved into "what's your degree in." In the viral hashtag thread, people have sarcastic fake conversations that answer questions about their college degrees, however, if you read some of them you'll see there is a little too much truth so you know some of them are based on real interactions. Scroll down to read these hilarious back-and-forths and maybe you'll even see a relateable convo about your major. Don't forget to upvote your favs!

Actually this is great and they are wrong! Dead languages keep a lot of mistery in them and they are the beggining of modern literature. Same goes with Ancient history, first society, first goverments, ancient science and etc. So your degree is exploration!
One of my coworkers told me how she had a math teacher in high school that told her she could always fall back on Math. She majored in English and now is a high school Math teacher.
Takes the pen, pulls up a sheet of paper: "sure, but before, I need your signature here to prove that you'll take it seriously. Uhm....ok, can I get the pen back to sign it? Sure, 5$."
Yep. Conversation killer every time. My mum started telling people I was 'doing a science degree' because it was too awkward otherwise.
I am in eighth grade but plan on minoring in Creative Writing as I have written two books. I want to major in Forensic Chemistry.
"Some great conspiracy theory by the government, to match the fake idea that the earth is round... " 😒
I don't get any reactions to my majors (guess I'm not that special), but I did get a cute one once in a public chatroom. Question: "What's your major?" Answer: "English Linguistics and Italian Language." Reaction: "Wow! Internet must be annoying as hell to you!"
I do..when I say that I have a degree in Forensic Anthropology, Law Enforcement and Pre-Law everyone is like "You want to be a police officer?" Uh No... not only am I too old, I really wanted to become a CSI tech. But I didn't find out until after graduating that the two parts I missed was a minor in either Chemistry or Biology and an internship which I missed by 24 hours (doing work with NCIS in San Diego.) Now I'm back in school for Accounting with the hopes of eventually becoming a Forensic Accountant. (A person that tracks down criminal activity by reviewing and auditing financial records.)
Load More Replies...Whenever I say my major is Applied Physics, 10/10 times the person silently walks away. Didn't take long to find out it is because it's one of the hardest majors out there. Issue is, when a person asks for help with a physics assignment, I usually can't answer because I'm so deep into physics that I'm too aware of how wrong elementary physics is. A blessing and a curse. I'm graduating this May, wish me luck guys (Also, I'll take recommendations for what I should do for my Master's, definitely don't want to continue in physics).
Why walking away, physics apparently can be fun (since BBT) :-)
Load More Replies...I am a tiny, baby-faced 51-year-old woman with a degree in Computer Science and am a Principal Software Developer (similar to software architect). I look like white trash, usually have a hole in my jacket, messy hair, and a hubcap missing. I am not good at communicating. If I tell someone my degree or what I do, they look at me like I'm a homeless person with no shoes on lying and saying they are the CEO of Facebook.
