5 Reasons Why I Know I'm In The Right Major
Sam Yeskis-West

Choosing a major can be difficult, but I know I'm in the right one for me.

I am a writing major at the University of Wisconsin-Superior. I know I'm in the right major because of these five reasons:

1. I walk out of class excited.

I'm excited to do the next assignment, I'm happy to do it because I want to do it. I know this is such a great thing for me because I can't wait to be engaged in the material that I'm learning about!

2. I can connect with my professors.

When I talk to my professors, they say things about writing that I understand on a personal level; I can have full-length conversations about my passion with them. Even when I'm signing up for classes my advisor and I get talking about writing.

3. I can be confident.

I am not usually a self-confident person, but I often know when I'm writing an essay or a writing assignment how well I am doing. I am also confident in the fact that I can learn the material and use it to my advantage.

4. My work is appreciated.

Whenever we do a workshop on a paper, I find that my work is appreciated. I also appreciate other students work and am engaged in their writing, knowing that I can always do better. I want to do better and am excited to see that my fellow students appreciate my work.

5. I genuinley still love writing.

Writing is still my passion, despite almost two years of harsh work at it. At the end of the day, I still write; and that is how I know that my major is perfect for me.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

Students walking on a sunny college campus with trees and buildings.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.
