You know you're an International Studies Major when...

Someone asks you your major, it's not a simple answer — everyone who studies international studies also picks a region and language to study, so your major's name isn't your full answer.

You have your favorite news sources on your phone with alerts for important world news and subscriptions to the ones you can't live without.

It frustrates you to no end when you see people on social media posting articles from unreliable news sources.

You could be taking a political science, a history, an economics course and a language course, and it all counts for your major.

People ask you what you're going to do with your major, it's actually easier to ask what you won't do with it because there's so many things to do with all the various knowledge and skills you've gained.

Your dream job is likely with the United Nations or the State Department.
