I double majored and minored. It didn't actually require me to take more classes than ordinary, just to focus them in the correct subjects.

I'm getting a double degree (which means I actually graduate with two separate bachelor degrees), as well as a minor. I know many many people who double major. It's not such a big deal.

I double majored. It took 5 years instead of 4.

Basically, I was looking to put off reality for another year.

I double majored as well, though to be perfectly honest, one of the majors was ridiculously easy (Education).

I'm currently deciding whether to double major in Phil. and Classics, or just minor in Classics.

I doubled in English and Music with a double in music, composition and musicology. I also had more than enough credits to take a performance degree, but I never juried. Se la vi.

Now there's a combination. He'll know what it means that e^13.81 is just a statistic!

I double majored and double minored. But then, I'm a generalist by nature.

I can't figure out whether this is a derivation of French (for instance a Hatian patois) or mispelled French. I'm not being condescending-- I Googled it but I still can't tell. Seems like Se La Vi does turn up written like that, but not often.

C'est La Vie is the French expression. It means something different in Spanish.

Just for interest's sake, were you mispelling regular French or quoting in some French-related language?

Clearly it was Langue D'oc. Simpleton.

But seriously, it was just bastardized Franspeñol- I couldn't be bothered to look up the spelling. The Spanish idiom is "así es la vida."
