Could you talk more about Stanford stereotypes regarding literally anything (idk majors?) bc they way how you explain them is literally so funny/good
lmao aw ily, you can always come to me if u want my opinion related to anything stanford (stereotypes about dorms, sports teams, greek life, a cappella ??) because i have A Lot Of It - i only wish i was more integrated with the school cuz most of my opinions are hearsay instead of personal experience
major stereotypes….hmm thats hard cuz there are So Many majors but i can just go with the most common ones and group some together, etc
engineering:
aero/astro - small department full of space nerds, most of them are in SSI, drones, i personally consider them very brainy and if i were better at engineering i would be aero/astro cuz i think it’s the next frontier. there should definitely be more women in it for sure
bioe - my ex was bioe, they’re a bunch of nerds but they have good enough hearts. they care about curing diseases and shit
CS - oh boy. ohhhhhh boy. here we fuckin go. honestly CS is barely even a sterotype at stanford cuz its such a dominant culture…..the people who decide what stereotypes even are, are probably CS. it’s gotten to the point where if i meet someone and they aren’t CS it’s worth noting. it’s gotten to the point where, in my psych/literature/communications/education classes, i expect the other people to be CS. i have so many Opinions on CS Boys because CS Boys are such!!!!a!!!type!!!! (and different from just, a boy who does CS). they worship the trinity of google, facebook, and microsoft. their junior summer internship is at least one of these. they buy into all silicon valley startup culture and they love elon musk and talk about venture capital when its really not welcome. they love talking about how much work they have and how little they sleep. all INTJs. probably virgos. there is also a subgenre of CS boy who didnt come into stanford wanting to do CS and ended up switching because its easier to be a CS Boy at stanford. they criticize the culture all the time. to this you can say, “it’s all right, craig, i know you just want to make money.”
CME - people major in this when they dont love themselves
design - i personally think this major is fuckin cool and considered it before i realized physics was a pre-req. the d school is thought to be d for douchey though because their whole shtick is so ~ideate~ ~prototype~ ~We Are Quirky and Put Post-Its On Walls~ but i dug it as a frosh. they can be kinda condescending, but theyre by far the most interdisciplinary dept in the engineering major (although its also full of white men who think theyre hot shit cuz they can use photoshop)
EE - again for people who lack self love, its supposed to be so fuckin hard
MS&E - white frat boys who glorify jordan belfort
ME - similar to design. live at the PRL. stay up till ungodly hours carving wood. somehow this is enjoyable. also white male heavy
who knows how the f to categorize this:
education - if i could do stanford over i would major in this. usually very diverse, woke, often come from underprivileged backgrounds so they want to make it better for other people and reach communities that arent currently benefited (unlike silicon valley or wall street :) ) i respect them because they do what they love and not to make $ although if educational engineering were a thing im certain people would jump ship. it’s also not in the humanities dept so i feel like theyre Above the stanford hegemony and i love that
earthsys - i considered a minor in this. usually sweet, earth-friendly people. white but woke. possibly queer. granola loving hippies and maybe some frathletes who want an “easy” major but not sure (im not shitting on easy majors. i have one. love ‘em)
generally i like girls in any of the engineering depts because they are dealing with sexism and doing it. the boys are oftentimes extremely self-congratulatory and will usually say something dumb about the humanities. even the girls will hit you with the “oh i wish i could study that!” about any non-engineering discipline, and it’s implied that what they’re really saying is “but i care about my future too much!” 
humanities/sciences:
AAAS/chicanx studies/asian-american studies/CSRE - woke poc who use lots of buzzwords and say things like folx
art - the people who major in art are usually more quiet than you’d think. we have an Artsy Type at stanf that are kind of extra (theta chi/EBF types, also very woke QPOC) but i dont think theyre art majors for the most part. i barely know any actual art Majors. lots of engineers just do art on the side
bio - i love bio majors because they are sciency but also get shit on by engineers so we’re in solidarity. they are sweet and study all the time and just wanna make the world a better place. there’s also the pre-med kind of bio who i would hate if i were also pre med but since im not i just kind of admire and fear them
chem - i like chem people much more than i thought i would. again a very small major and they just live in lab and have varied non chem interests. this year i accidentally became friends with like 6 people from the chem fraternity and i was surprised how much i liked them
complit/english - i was this major! english in creative writing are usually chill, interesting people. complit and english in literature…….it’s a shakespeare circlejerk and they hit you with the Discourse. overly educated white people. avoid the boys specifically but the girls can also be incredibly self-satisfied. maybe 50/50. but if you take a creative writing class instead of a lit class, the CW kids are usually awesome
taps - our drama department. they’re nice, but extra and intimidating. (also stanford theater is…..okay….not really as good as they seem to think it is yikes that was mean but) however, like with english, take an introductory class and you’ll meet very cool non-taps majors.
econ - oftentimes wonderful people! outside of class that is
femgen - same people as the AAAS/CSRE crowd except whiter. queer girls with undercuts. upperclassmen are intimidating to many. everyone shares their opinion even when its not warranted. my honors is in this
film studies - this was almost my minor and if i werent CW i might have doubled in film and comm! i dont know any film majors but if they arent a cole sprouse im sure theyre fine (they are probably a cole sprouse)
german/italian/french/spanish language or studies - spot the person who studied abroad!
history - like english, can be cool, more likely pretentious
humbio - the other premeds! actually humbio gets shit on alllll the time for being easy or having a fluff major, bio majors think they’re soft. thus, i like them. their course catalog is awesome and its a huge major but all the scary pre meds are straight up bio and humbios are softer but in a good way its a lot of sweet girls
intl relations - one of my favorite majors. usually very down to earth, the best of the IR/poli-sci/pub-po trinity. however, they can also be self-congratulatory for being So Woke and also they love to educate you when You Didn’t Ask
linguistics - weird, diverse people. very small major. similar to anthro, my old major. i love small majors they always have cute dinners together
MCS - a hard fuckin major. not as “Look How Smart I Am” as a bad CS. mostly quiet and stay in and study their ass off
math - love to wax poetic about the beauty of math. fun when drunk. not when sober
philosophy/MTL/classics - avoid. classics can be okay if it overlaps with archaeology because theyre just a bunch of nerds and they get really excited and its cute. phil majors would rather just educate you about how free will is fake and youre like tim can you please just get out of the way we’re in the dining hall and you’re blocking the cornbread
physics - Avoid. they think all other sciences are lesser. women and POC are ok
poli-sci - hit or miss. generally pretty friendly. very talkative. fun to talk to about Not Politics
psych - the best major hehe. generally liberal and woke and often queer. however, non-psych people in psych classes can be a nightmare (unlike english, taps, etc) and problematic as fuck. also sometimes psych majors are extra (exhibit a: me)
pub policy - probably in student government. im biased against it, but go in with hesitation. student government is by and large not as effective as they seem to think (however, a “woke” person in pub po might be cool because they will campaign for sexual assault awareness and economic diversity and good stuff)
STS - ohhhhh man. probably the major that gets most shit on at stanford. i think engineers think it’s fake. (humbio, design, and STS get shit on the most i’d say, because they are interdisciplinary STEM majors, so engineers think that they’re for people who arent smart enough to do hard majors. whereas with english or IR, engineers know they couldnt do it because they havent written an essay since 2009, so they offer grudging respect) a frathlete major. i personally like it because i dig interdisciplinary shit, but i don’t dig frat boys or athletes so i avoid. some of their courses are great but it does seem kind of scrapped together as a major and i dont know how people outside of stan see it
sociology - a small major, seems cool. stigmatized but not by stanford because stanford students dont know it exists. “dont you mean psychology?” no
urban studies - skaters? who knows. i respect them tho. i think they care about….like….architecture? and city development? its a very niche thing and i feel like it’s pretty hip n happening

who hogs the duvet
Okay I’m sure it’s me because I’m always so cold and you’re always always so warm. I do tend to wake up kinda sprawled out too, but we’re always touching so I don’t have ap problem with it. You’re so sweet to put up with me being a cover/bed hog. 
who texts/rings to check how their day is going
I feel like we’re pretty equal in that we’re quite terrible at keeping up with each other. I am always thinking of you, all the time and I tell myself when I get out of class I’ll text you, but I forget or something comes up. 
who’s the most creative when it comes to gifts
Have we gotten each other gifts? I’ve no idea. I like to think I’m pretty creative. You’re a gift. This is gay. 
who gets up first in the morning
You. Always you, it will always be you, never me. I love waking up to you, though, and you’re so nice because you let me sleep and you’re so quiet and I wake up and you’re on your phone and lie about how early you woke up so I don’t feel bad about you just having to chill while I’m asleep. You are the sweetest and I always sleep best next to you. 
who suggests new things in bed
Well, my dude, we haven’t fucked, but that’s gucci. You’re always willing to make suggestions if you like
who cries at movies
Me. I’m a sucker. I’ll cry over anything. I”ve never seen you cry, like, ever. Not even when we went to church camp and it was super emotional and shit. 
who gives unprompted massages
Yeah, never happened w/ us. I’m not much of a massage person I suppose.
who fusses over the other when they’re sick
That would be you. Even when I’m not that sick you always worry over me and it’s so cute and you’re such a worrier even though you know I got this and can do it on my own.
who gets jealous easiest
I’m gonna guess me because I get jealous faster than you can blink and it’s pathetic.
who has the most embarrassing taste in music
Yikes probably also me. You’ve got wonderous taste
who collects something unusual
I’ll also take that one because I just keep the weirdest shit around. I’m a hoarder basically.
who takes the longest to get ready
You. Definitely you, and I always laugh when I call you to pick you up because I text you to tell you that I’m on my way and then I get there and you still aren’t ready and it should be annoying, but it isn’t, it’s just funny and you come out looking stunning so I’m really not complaining
who is the most tidy and organised
Also you. But to be fair, I’m pretty sure that a college frat boy house after a party is tidier than me...
who gets most excited about the holidays
Me? I think it’s me. The months between September and January are my favorite, I freak out and I know it’s got to be annoying but holidays are my fucking shit that’s the reason I live okay
who is the big spoon/little spoon
We tend to switch it up. It’s not like thought out or anything, just however we lay is how we do
who gets most competitive when playing games and/or sports
Probably me, but I’ve never seen you play games or anything. You’re pretty chill though and I’m pretty not so I’ll take that one cuz even when I’m acting like I don’t care if I win, I absolutely care
who starts the most arguments
We’ve literally never argued. Ever.
who suggests that they buy a pet
I would for sure. I want cats so bad.
what couple traditions they have
Listening to Hum Hallelujah whenever we’re together, if not the entirety of Infinity on High. We’re literally doing that right now. Also, saying “This is fine” when it absolutely is not fine. 
what tv shows they watch together
Whatever I’m watching at the time you come over. And you’re amazing because you just sit and watch with me and ask questions so you understand and I love that so much about you
what other couple they hang out with
Uhm, Carys? She’s worth at least two people.
how they spend time together as a couple
Cuddling, making out, watching TV, singing, being absolutely ridiculous 
who made the first move
Oh jeez, I can’t even remember. Was it you? Probably, I’m a total chicken.
who brings flowers home
Haven’t done that yet, but I’ll bring you flowers anytime you like
who is the best cook
You. Your PB&Js are to die for.
