And as COM students, we\u2019re more than experienced at using Twitter\u2014sometimes, it\u2019s even required for our classes. While we may not be tweeting something viral every day, we can all certainly relate to feeling just a little<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> too<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> called out by a tweet. Below are the tweets that accurately sum up every BU COM student based on their chosen major. <\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Journalism<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/comblog\/files\/2019\/02\/Hughes-Photo-1-300x209.png\" alt=\"Hughes Photo 1\" width=\"300\" height=\"209\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-4411\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.bu.edu\/comblog\/files\/2019\/02\/Hughes-Photo-1-300x209.png 300w, https:\/\/blogs.bu.edu\/comblog\/files\/2019\/02\/Hughes-Photo-1-768x534.png 768w, https:\/\/blogs.bu.edu\/comblog\/files\/2019\/02\/Hughes-Photo-1-1024x712.png 1024w, https:\/\/blogs.bu.edu\/comblog\/files\/2019\/02\/Hughes-Photo-1.png 1182w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">As a journalism major myself, I can confirm\u2014we need to know all the details, always. No journalism student gets into this path of study without being innately curious about the world around them, even if it goes against our best interests. While we may sometimes get caught up in the drama surrounding us, we will always do our best to be honest and reliable. <\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Film &amp; Television<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/comblog\/files\/2019\/02\/Hughes-Photo-2-1-300x151.png\" alt=\"Hughes Photo 2 (1)\" width=\"300\" height=\"151\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-4414\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.bu.edu\/comblog\/files\/2019\/02\/Hughes-Photo-2-1-300x151.png 300w, https:\/\/blogs.bu.edu\/comblog\/files\/2019\/02\/Hughes-Photo-2-1-768x386.png 768w, https:\/\/blogs.bu.edu\/comblog\/files\/2019\/02\/Hughes-Photo-2-1.png 964w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This is what I imagine film &amp; television students\u2019 brainstorming sessions to be like\u2014just kidding. As some of the hardest working students on BU\u2019s campus, you\u2019ll never see a film &amp; television student not thinking about what their next script is going to be or without a camera on them. If you\u2019re lucky enough, maybe you\u2019ll get to see one of their films at a free BU screening!<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Advertising<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/comblog\/files\/2019\/02\/Hughes-Photo-3-300x123.png\" alt=\"Hughes Photo 3\" width=\"300\" height=\"123\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-4415\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.bu.edu\/comblog\/files\/2019\/02\/Hughes-Photo-3-300x123.png 300w, https:\/\/blogs.bu.edu\/comblog\/files\/2019\/02\/Hughes-Photo-3-768x314.png 768w, https:\/\/blogs.bu.edu\/comblog\/files\/2019\/02\/Hughes-Photo-3.png 964w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Advertising students are incredibly creative and innovative\u2014and as a result, are usually very busy with outside work and fun organizations such as Ad Lab. You may catch them downing a coffee or two so they can continue working on their next campaign\u2014support them through it all!<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Cinema &amp; Media Studies<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/comblog\/files\/2019\/02\/Hughes-Photo-4-300x127.png\" alt=\"Hughes Photo 4\" width=\"300\" height=\"127\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-4416\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.bu.edu\/comblog\/files\/2019\/02\/Hughes-Photo-4-300x127.png 300w, https:\/\/blogs.bu.edu\/comblog\/files\/2019\/02\/Hughes-Photo-4-768x324.png 768w, https:\/\/blogs.bu.edu\/comblog\/files\/2019\/02\/Hughes-Photo-4.png 952w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Cinema &amp; media studies majors tend to be very detail-oriented, catching small aspects of films that other COM majors tend to overlook. They tend to look at things with a more observant eye, meaning that they\u2019ll fixate on a detail and tell everyone about it. It\u2019s good to have someone around who will notice something that you might not see\u2014but hey, can we watch some rom-coms instead of classics for a change? <\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Mass Communication<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/comblog\/files\/2019\/02\/Hughes-Photo-5-280x300.png\" alt=\"Hughes Photo 5\" width=\"280\" height=\"300\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-4417\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.bu.edu\/comblog\/files\/2019\/02\/Hughes-Photo-5-280x300.png 280w, https:\/\/blogs.bu.edu\/comblog\/files\/2019\/02\/Hughes-Photo-5-768x823.png 768w, https:\/\/blogs.bu.edu\/comblog\/files\/2019\/02\/Hughes-Photo-5-955x1024.png 955w, https:\/\/blogs.bu.edu\/comblog\/files\/2019\/02\/Hughes-Photo-5.png 972w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 280px) 100vw, 280px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Mass communication covers the most amount of breadth in COM, yet not many students know a ton about it because it\u2019s not as targeted as other degree programs. From what I know about mass communication students, they never stop hustling\u2014not even when they face unfortunate situations like the student from the tweet above. Group papers? Mass communication students are on it, with a large coffee in their hand, of course. <\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Public Relations<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/comblog\/files\/2019\/02\/Hughes-Photo-6-293x300.png\" alt=\"Hughes Photo 6\" width=\"293\" height=\"300\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-4418\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.bu.edu\/comblog\/files\/2019\/02\/Hughes-Photo-6-293x300.png 293w, https:\/\/blogs.bu.edu\/comblog\/files\/2019\/02\/Hughes-Photo-6-768x785.png 768w, https:\/\/blogs.bu.edu\/comblog\/files\/2019\/02\/Hughes-Photo-6.png 972w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 293px) 100vw, 293px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Public relations students are nothing if not talkative. We have a lot to say, and we have to get it out quickly, a la the art of the 30-second elevator pitch. Though we realize that sometimes our words come out faster than our thoughts, we will bring 100% to any conversation or brainstorming session. Just remind us to take a breather sometimes.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Media Science<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/comblog\/files\/2019\/02\/Hughes-Photo-7-300x133.png\" alt=\"Hughes Photo 7\" width=\"300\" height=\"133\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-4419\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.bu.edu\/comblog\/files\/2019\/02\/Hughes-Photo-7-300x133.png 300w, https:\/\/blogs.bu.edu\/comblog\/files\/2019\/02\/Hughes-Photo-7-768x340.png 768w, https:\/\/blogs.bu.edu\/comblog\/files\/2019\/02\/Hughes-Photo-7.png 970w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This tweet is for anyone who ever said that BU COM students can\u2019t excel at math\u2014while it may not be our first choice of study, media science majors are here to say that you can combine logic with your creative side and make a career out of it.
