After going through sleepless nights, anxiety and weeks devoted to studying during your senior year in high school, you finally made it to one of the hardest college majors, AKA political science. Hallelujah!!
For some odd reason, people who study this major have definitely been told one -if not all- of the following things:
1. “Et5arag Ba2a W 3al El 5argeya 3alatoool”
Fact Of The Day: College graduates of all majors can undertake the Ministry of Foreign Affairs’ exam as long as he/she are under the age of 27!! God knows why, but people always think only a PS major can do so. Another fact to keep in mind, only a handful of this major want this as a career!
2. “Msh Dih Eli Heya 7o2ou2?”
No sir, di haga w di haga tania 5alss!
3. “Tab W Eh ra2yak fi eli bey7sal fl balad?”
That question! Since you study politics, everyone around you will want to hear what you think about the current political situation in Egypt. What people don’t know is that it depresses PS majors to do so; what we study in books is literally the opposite of what’s happening around us.
4. “La Crème De La Crème!!”
One of the perks of this major is the prestige that comes with studying it, always referred to as “La crème”.
5. “Akid El emta7anat sahla, bet5osh tekteb ara2ak el seyaseya”
‘Makansh 7ad 3’elb!’ that’s what you will mutter under your breath after hearing this sentence! Exams are the living hell in this major; they require you to speak your own mind but in a very academic way. Each word you use should be backed by its definition; you must also give examples that prove your point by stating dates/names/treaties/wars/….
