3 Things That Go Through Your Mind When You Can't Decide On Your Major

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.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
