Most college students have dealt with it, and for those of us who have we're jealous of those who didn't. Choosing a major is the biggest decision of your college career, since you're choosing what you want to do with the rest of your life. And while we'd all like to believe that we have all the time in the world to make this decision, we really don't and during this time most people are filled with anxiety about the decision.


1. You're worried about getting behind.

Like I said we really don't have all the time in the world to decide on a major, and the longer you wait the further behind you can get on your major. While all majors have core classes that you have to take, not all majors have the same core classes, or many core classes at all for that matter. That's why its best to try and decide your major when you're a freshman, and your core classes are a definite thing.


2. What if I'm choosing the wrong thing?

Oh college, the land make believe and what if's. And one of the biggest what if's, is the "What if I chose a different major?", "What if I'm meant to do something different with my life". Lets be honest, those what if's get you nowhere fast and just make you more stressed out by the situation. Don't question every little thing you do, just do everything to the best of your ability and go with the flow.


3. Will I be able to find a job when I get out of college?

When thinking about what you want to do, thinking to the future is always a good thing. But, stressing over every little detail isn't. You should have an idea of the job you want to do, what it takes to get that job, and how competitive the field for that job is but in reality you won't know the truth until you really get out there and start job hunting. So to basis your decision on this really isn't smart, if we all went by this we'd all choose much safer (and boring) routes for our degrees. But we'd also end up in a job that we probably wouldn't like very much.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
