1. "Election day is basically a holiday to you." - Carli Hendershot, senior

In this case, the reason for the season is democracy.

2. "You don’t need to ask me if I watched the presidential debates last night. Of course I did." - Riley Vyain, junior

Some people binge watch Netflix, political science majors watch three-hour GOP debates for fun.

3. Most of your Twitter is comprised of the news and politics. - Jason Pickell, senior

Cat videos are cool, but check out this sweet article on environmental policy.

4. "You carry around a pocket Constitution with you wherever you go." - Hendershot

Who knows when you'll need to defend your rights?

5. You have to hold yourself back when people say politics don’t affect them or they’re not interested in politics - Vyain

Politics affect everyone. Period.

6. You actually know who your elected officials are. - Pickell

7. "Your parents, when you tell them that you’re going to major in political science, they ask you if you’re going to be a politician." - Hendershot

Just because you keep up with current events doesn't mean you'll become their subject. Analysts, teachers and government officers can be political science majors too.
