I'm just saying it's complete BS. If you let students start inventing individual majors based on whatever the hell they want, it completely devalues college degrees

no it doesn't

almost every uni i've ever looked at has some sort of creative writing degree

LSU offers a Masters in it!

WTF is a vlogger?


A vlogger is a self-important douche who can't simply settle for writing a blog. This particular self-important d-bag has to commit his/her thoughts to paper then record them on video for the world to appreciate his/her douchiness in all of its splendor.

It's the pinnacle of postmodern thinking. Nothing is real, truth is subjective, make up whatever you want. Combine that with both a militant left and parents that completely neglect teaching their kids about life and you get neomarxist SJWs that view free speech as a poison.

Is this one of those transgendered male->females that wants straight "cis-gendered" men to date them, and then gets all offended about how someone else happens to feel?

I'm pretty sure that's also how you get Girls Gone Wild and free nudes.

If done correctly, you can make a lot of money putting videos of yourself on YouTube.

Creative writing is not the same thing as a "self-designed" major. A true college course of study will have a certified program with a list of courses you have to take that was carefully put together by the university, and taught by experts in the subject. It's impossible to have that in place for a major the student just invented, but you're giving them a university degree anyway, ergo devaluing the other degrees coming from that university.

So it is:

polyamorous=doesn't believe in a single partner

atheist=doesn't believe in god yet writes an article about how science, in particular, biology can not define a male vs. a female

non-binary trans woman=which means she doesn't adhere to masculinity or feminism yet identifies as a woman and writes exclusively about feminism (as opposed to masculinity)

This is what mental illness looks like. She/he is a completely confused person, who's mind does not operate like that of someone who's mental status is functional. All in the name of what?

Yes. Riley actually has a video out saying that if you don't like a trans woman because she is trans, you are being discriminatory and narrow-minded.

Many honors programs have a type of self-designed program. However, they usually fall within a broader category and are really more of a concentration that is very specific to the student's interests. It's just easier to say you majored in your concentration area rather than try and explain that you have an English literature degree with a concentration in whatever.
