We've all been there.

I have recently reached that point in my college career where I start to question basically everything. As college students, we've all been there. It's totally normal; there's no reason to freak out about it.

If you are freaking out about wondering if you made the right choice in picking your major, try doing these 10 things:

1. Try to imagine doing something different.

2. Try taking elective classes that are the complete opposite of your major.

3. Do research on different job opportunities that involve your major. Or in other words, branch out on job opportunities.

4. Talk to your friends about their majors and why they picked their specific major.

5. Try writing a pro and con list about your major.

6. Talk to your parents and get their input.

7. Picture yourself in 10 years. What can you picture yourself doing that would make you the happiest?

8. Take to older students in your major about your concerns.

9. Go to the career center.

10. Finally, it's important to talk to your counselor about your concerns. Remember they are there to help.


Ultimately, it is important to make sure that you enjoy what you are studying. Life is extremely too short for you to waste it away doing and studying something that makes you miserable.

Live your best life!

It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. But also a time of stressing over the perfect gift.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

Great Value Colleges

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.

The winters at Kent are brutal, and while the heated sidewalks and some great snow boots are always a help, there’s no chance you won’t bust it on the ice at least once in your four plus years at school.
