1. IT'S OK
You are not supposed to know what you want to do for the rest of your life while you are still navigating life itself. So take a breath and know it will be okay.
2. Everything will work out
Everything truly does happen for a reason and maybe you don't know what you want to do with your life at this moment but you will figure it out because things will all fall into place the way they should
3. Do not stress
Stressing about it will not help you in any way. It only takes away the joy of the moment. Classes will always be there, departments will always be there but your freshmen or sophomore years of college aren't, so do not waste it away by stressing out because you don't have a major
4. Take time to see what makes you happy
If anything you are pretty lucky you are undecided because instead of being thrown into a jam-packed class schedule you have the luxury of getting your toes wet in various classes that interest you.
5. Do not worry about what other people think
Don't worry about what your friends are saying or pressuring you in any way about classes or majors. Don't let their schedules worry you. As long as you are enrolled and taking classes you are just as well off as they are.
6. Listen to your heart
The worst thing you can do is go into a major just because you know it will set you up to make the most money. You need to find what makes your heart happy and what will make you get up every morning excited to learn about for a future in.
7. Life goes on
You might feel like the world has stopped because you are so flustered and feel behind that you don't know what you want to do but it has not. Life still goes on, classes still run and you are not the only one who is undecided.
8. Set up meetings with various departments
Knowledge is key. Make meetings with as many departments as you are interested in because they will give you the best information and support you with your life goals. Sifting through the courses online only doesn't do the department or major justice.
9. Give yourself a break
Watch netflix, go for a long walk and give yourself a break. The constant anxiety and stress of feeling like you have to know everything right now will only make you miserable.
10. Enjoy the unknown
Think about it, this is the only time in your life when it is okay to not know. Enjoy it. You are here for a reason, do not wish it away.
