This past week, I finally made a decision about what I want to study in college: psychology. I have been pretty positive that I wanted to major in psychology for a while, but I kept putting off declaring my major because that means I actually have to commit to something. I can barely decide what I want to eat, how am I going to decide what I want to do with the rest of my life. I went through all the feels while filling out the paperwork to declare my major, and I thought the Kardashians could perfectly describe how I felt.
1. I will never have to answer "I'm not sure what my major is yet" at family parties again
Every holiday this past year, I always got the question "So, what are you studying in college?" I dreaded this question because I always had to answer, "Oh, I'm not sure yet" and would without fail get the response, "Oh...That's ok! You have plenty of time" Now I can finally show my family that I kinda know what I'm doing.
2. Will this major lead me to a good job?
That's the main thing on almost everyone's mind when deciding what to study in college. Will I get a job with a salary I can live off of, but also enjoy what I'm doing.
3. If my parents ask if I'm positive about my decision one more time, I'm going to scream
When I finally decided to declare my major, there were many phone calls between my parents and I asking if I was sure that it was what I wanted to do. They were being so supportive, but also making me question everything I was doing.
4. Should I just go into business?
^^^me in any math class. So, I decided business probably wasn't for me.
5. I finally have an idea of what I'm doing with my life
I now know what classes I should be taking, what summer jobs I should be looking for, and what connections I need to start making. Having a little idea of what you want to do with the rest of your life takes a lot of weight off your shoulders. I no longer feel like a lost puppy, especially when choosing classes.
