Howdy! I'm a 22-year old Mass Communication/History major. I'm just wondering how many other college students are here. What's your major? Do you friends love him too? Most of my friends wouldn't be caught dead watching American Idol, so it's been a struggle finding like-minded fans at my school. Anyway that's about it for now...I must get back to my essay for my summer class lol

I'm a 21 year old (soon to be) Graphic Design major. (Hmm.. sound familiar? LOL). I've recently moved from a really big city to a smaller one, so now I'm having to do all the paperwork to transfer and all that. It's just something that I've always been interested in and have been doing since my mid-teen years. I'm pretty stoked about it!

That's cool I love art and I think that would be a fun field. From 4th grade, I knew I wanted to be a journalist. I used to write pretend news stories. Transferring isn't fun. I tranferred last fall after I graduated from a junior college. Do you work for your school's paper?

You know what? I used to dabble in writing but journalism was never something that interested me. So, no. I do have an immense respect for them (journalists) though because I know it's not easy.

I'm taking a Fashion Business and Creative Arts program at a school in downtown Vancouver.
My class size is pretty small (14), but I like it because we are all so close.
But I totally know what you mean about no one you know liking American Idol. Whenever I start to talk about it they give me this 'whatever crazy girl look' ... kind of like this ... or sometimes this
I try and not bring it up too much in class, which means I have to talk to someone about it
*I'm thankful for this board*

hey! i'm an almost 20 yr-old student. i was a liberal arts student but i'm switching to early childhood development. none of my friends like him but i'm lucky cuz my brother and mom do!

An 18-year-old Computer Science major here, though I have contemplated switching to Visual Communications (my college's equivalent of Graphic Design). I wonder why that is so...

Thanks. Yeah, the media gets a lot of flack. I despise some aspects of it, but I don't plan on working in the "fast food" media that it shows like Inside Edition and so on...

Interesting that we share in the creative fields for the most part. Cool.

Yep, another college student here. I'm 20 and I'm majoring in social work. I'm going to graduate next spring with my degree in social/applied sciences, and then I'm going to transfer to another school to get my degree for counseling

Being a college student isn't always fun...I mean, it's made it impossible for me to go to the Idol tour this summer, so I'm pretty bitter about it

I'm 20 and a Visual Arts major with a concentration in Graphic Design and a soon to be minor in Advertising. I love music and def want to work in the industry whether it be at a label or a venue or festival, it doesn't matter, i just need to be around music.

College is cool but i hate being a broke college kid. lol

I like college. I'm a senior, but I don't look foward to graduating because a lot my friends are little freshmen.

I'm 20 yrs old. Currently studying Biology, science freak! lol. Planning of moving to the states after i finished my B.A here. I love David Cook!! Well I got two friends that love him also, they voted like hundreds of times for him! So as I. Also my 54 yrs old mother likes him! He was her favorite all season long.

I'm a 22 year old senior who is majoring in Sociology. I'm planning on teaching elementary school so once I get my BA I will be going on to get my credential.

I'll be a college kid forever..lol

Oh..and some of my friends like American Idol. Actually a lot of them do. The ones that don't have parents that do so I can talk to them instead..haha

Almost all of my friends loved DC this season too. I also converted my best friend into becoming a DC fan as well. She hates AI and thinks it's stupid, but she loves DC!

I am almost 24 years old and still in college. I originally wanted to do something with graphic design when I was in high school and even took a couple graphic design classes in school. After a couple semesters I realized it wasn't for me. Then I struggled to find out what I really wanted to do. I then headed towards elementary education. That lasted a year and to much strangeness I changed my mind again. As of this past January I am a nursing student and loving it more than I could imagination with anything else. I had tough times and watching American Idol released some of that stress. And to my astonishment, David Cook stole my heart Only one my friends watch American Idol and she lives 1200 miles away. People at work thought I was crazy when I've talked about it these past few weeks. Therefore, I completely understand how it feels to be a college student alone in the Idol world HAHA.

i'm a 19 year old MIS (management information systems) major.
most of my friends are cookies too, usually the girls are the only ones who like archie mostly because they think he's cute. XD

i'm 19, and my major's equine science and management.
the majority of my friends think american idol is like the worst show ever, and they hate listening to me talk about it lol
but i played some DC songs for them and have successfully converted them into DC fans, and i even managed to convince one of my best friends to come to the concert with me

I'm 24 and I'm a music business major. I will be graduating soon but I need to finish an internship with a record label and a marketing business like a radio station which will hopefully start soon. I love Idol because it's almost completely tied to what I wanna do in life.

Hey everyone! I'm new here. Actually this is my first post, but it's a good way for me to begin. I'm almost 20 years old (less than two weeks away! yay!) and I'm going to be a junior english literature major. I can't wait to discuss Mr. Cook on this awesome board!

That is so awesome! I wish my college had a major like that.

I'm 18 and I'm a Business/Real Estate Major. But I totally want to sing. haha I know you're probably thinking why are you majoring in real estate then? haha cause I don't think I'd make it as a singer, but I guess I should "Dream Big" lol *pun intended*

Hey guys- I'm new here, this is my second post I'm an advertising major at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. None of my friends watch Idol, but I have made them listen to/watch David's performances many times and they like him. I just couldn't ever seem to get them to sit down and watch the show. haha oh well, at least they like the music I play so often. : )

Im a college Student for Cookie. Im soon to be 19 and Im majoring in Biology hoping to be a prediatrician someday with a lot of schooling and i hope i get into med school. if i fail any of my courses this past semester its so because of Cookie i didnt study most of the times cuz i was glued to this site and to AI. lol

I'm 20. A Visual Communications Technology major with a minor in Creative Writing!!

cool it seems like there are a lot of us

I'm 22 and a communications major/music management minor.

as for my friends liking Cook...most of them don't watch Idol so they're a bit clueless, but what they have heard they liked. my mom's probably a bigger fan than them though haha

me me me


I'm a 21 yr old Business student from Burbank, California

I am a grad stud and I'm getting my MBA (master of business adminstration) so if David would take me on for him I'd work for free haha I'm for it LOL
I'm the only one who is crushing on him like a teen girl! I'm 23. He is smart and sexy

19 years old major in Marketing and Advertising here

haha same here! but they don't mind him though, in fact I might be converting them a bit

*raies hand* Music Therapy major at EMU! AND I work at the local music store. And I'm a vocalist who sings in various choirs and sometimes sings with my friends band. I pretty much eat, breathe and sleep music! People keep telling me I should try out for AI next season. I'm actually thinking I might this time with hopes of maybe meeting David if I made it through! Wishful thinking, but if you don't dream big what's the use of dreaming?

TehPatty, you should totally try out! Let us know if you get in, we'll vote!

I'm 19, Biology Major (working my way to Med School - MCATS AHHHHH!) and my course mates are Archie or Syesha fans. I'm the only Cookie obsessed nut there. My class is small though, 18 of us in all.

im 19 taking up accountancy.
my friends like him a lot.. my best friend likes archuleta more though.. but its only him..

i'm 16 and an incoming college student..yeah!!and i love COokie!!he is my inspiraton..btw, i'm a COmputer Science student..

I'm an eighteen-year-old junior Journalism major!

My blockmates love Cook! I actually solicited their help and I taught them how to vote for the Finals.

I'm at university too I'm 21 and I'm studying Biology (over in the UK we don't have majors/minors, we just study one thing) although I have almost finished - graduating in about a month! None of my friends have watched AI as it's not that big over here, so they don't really understand why I like Cook so much!

GOOD LORD you must be a freaking genius to start college that early. congrats!!

anywho, i am a 22 year old student at West Virginia University (GO MOUNTAINEERS!!!!) and i am currently in pharmacy school. it kinda sucks having a major in the medical field because of all the studying ESPECIALLY when idol is on haha. some of my friends watch american idol, but not religiously like i do. i have gotten them more involved this season once i returned from school - i would have american idol pizza parties on tuesday night and i would make them vote like crazy for DC. corny i know haha.

a round of applause for all the graphics design majors! that is probably why this site has the most kick ass avatars and sigs!!!

[font="Century Gothic"][/font] im 21 and a mass communication and marketing management student. im quite lucky that my friends have nothing better to do but watch idol and love david cook =p

I'm a 22 years old mass communication student at London School of Public Relation & in my last year...pretty busy since i'm writing my thesis about documentary movies & Greenpeace. Hope i can graduate this winter. Most of my friends don't watch AI (bc Indonesian Idol is running now..). But some of 'em like DC/DA/Jcas. I don't have yelled partner here. So, come to this site is such heaven!

Hey guys! I'm pretty new around here, but I'm an 18-year old English major/French minor (and possibly a music industry minor) from Boston, MA, and i'll be starting sophomore year in September!

I was lucky enough to get roommates who were completely obsessed w/ Idol and DC was our fave (along with Michael Johns) from the start! even after school got out and we all went back home to our respective states, we'd call/text each other during the show and all made sure to vote! lol

Nice to meet you all, and great to see fellow english/communication majors out there! of course, to us nothing's sexier than a word nerd, right? lol

Hey all! I'll be turning 21 in July and I recently changed my major from Information Systems to Advertising - Graphic Design. Which is ironic because I just read yesterday that David was a Graphic Design major! LOL! My heart has always been with photography and image editing so even though I'm practically starting over, I'm really looking forward to starting classes in the fall!

In the Philippines, we really start college early because we only spend 2 years in pre-school, 6 years in mid school, then 4 years in highschool then we're off to college!



So you're a journ major as well?

21, English major, Virginia. I was a word nerd pre-DC.

I'm 21 have bin at college for 4 years this year. I'm a fully qualified hairdresser got my NVQ 1,2 and 3 doing my 3rd year gives me 3 A-Levels.

I'm studing computers i'm on Introduction to office technology course.

I would like to do either graphic design, art and design, dance and acting.

But i'm sticking to becoming a receptionist or admin officer.

Hey guys! Love this thread.
I'm 19 years old... (20 this summer), psychology major. Half way done with my bachelor's. Will be getting at LEAST my master's if not P.h.D. I love clinical psych but want to somehow work with animals. I go to the University of South Florida.

I don't have ANY friends that watch American Idol. I watch with my dad.... so I have to lend my obsessive thoughts to him, haha.

P.S.-- lots of graphic design majors here!!

I'm 22 years old and just graduated at the beginning of May with my bachelor of science in exercise science. However, I'm still a college student because I'm going to graduate school in the fall to start working on my doctorate in Physical Therapy. I go to a private university in North Dakota. When I originally interviewed for the physical therapy program, I got chosen as an alternate, so I thought I'd just work a year and then go for it next year. I had also planned that during my year off, I'd audition for American Idol since I've always wanted to but been concerned about school getting in the way. Without school, I figured I'd be ok. Well, fate stepped in and someone dropped out of the program, so now I'm in and it's too big of a committment to drop just to take a chance I might make it on Idol. But, I fully plan on making my dream of auditioning for AI come true as soon as I'm done making my dream of being a physical therapist true!!

I don't have a whole lot of friends around here who are into AI, but my family is and my mom LOVES David as well. Since they're still in Montana, they get the show an hour after I do, so the night of the big announcement I had to keep my mouth shut and not call my mom as soon as I knew David had won...couldn't ruin the big surprise!!

I'm in college now! (UK college though)
But Im in Uni (like US college) next year, doing Law/Psychology...
Cant wait

WISTY!
Im a poli sci major/ communicatoins minor

I'm a college student too I attend community college, Im transferring to UCSD next year! wee!

Hey to fellow English, and Journalism majors!

I like journalism too; from a young age I always read the newspapers and very much interested in what's going on in the world.

I LOVE to read, and I like writing as well.

aka I was a wordnerd pre-DC too.
Me too, I'm the only one that's watching American Idol, and only one I know who REALLY likes David Cook. Haha.

I'm a 19 year old english education major and am going into my junior year at Molloy College. And as an english major and word nerd, hearing David call himself a word nerd and him constantly use words that your normal celebrity would use was the icing on the cookie if you will.
A few of my friends are Cookie fans but most don't watch AI. My best friend came home from school for the summer and we went out to dinner and, ofcourse, I had to play her some DC and when I did lets just say she became a fan real quick lol.
