By Cam Hoff | Photo by Emily He

I’m not going to beat around the bush. I am hateful. I am spiteful. I am evil. And I am wretched. No one is safe from my ever-burning wrath. No one will ever be safe. And guess what slags, I have something that’s been cooking. Hate that needs to be shared. Some of y’all pick some dumb-ass majors and you need to know that. Did you make a mistake? Probably. Let me tell you why. 

And now for my complete list of all BU majors, ranked by how much I fucking hate them. Don’t think I’m just going to include the top ten majors I hate.

And so, my dear reader, there we have it. All 145 Boston University majors ranked based on how much I hate them. If you get offended, good, you should’ve chosen a better major. It’s not my fault you’re stupid and dumb and ugly and gross and nasty and evil and dreadful and terrible. You and your major suck.
