>Double majoring actually has neither benefit on grad-school admissions nor career prospects. In fact, it, more often than not, worsens them, as they now have to take a hectic amount of courses and their performance in turn drops. Even a minor confines your freedom as to which courses you should take and often fucks with your schedule. Literally the only thing that matters at the end of the day for undergrad is GPA.

I'm realizing this now in my final year as a Philosophy/Writing double major. I'm still almost definitely going to be getting departmental honors in Philosophy, but I think I could've had a 4.0 if I had stuck to one major. The reason I didnt want to choose one over the other is that I knew I would write much more fiction and poetry with the pressure of classes encouraging me to, and I have a good collection and think I've improved as a writer, but now I want to apply for a philosophy research Fulbright and my grades are just average since I've been balancing both. But departmental honors is still good, r-right?

I hope that I am bad at mathematics only because I never worked at it, I don't think I could stand to live if it turns out that I was cursed to always have impaired mathematical thinking. Not having been born an upper class anglo-saxon or ashkenazi jew is already hard enough.

He's the only leftist I have respect for, and he's pretty much the last of the 20th century vanguard left.
