Should I Change My College Major?

Ever feel like you may want to try something different career-wise or you are stuck in a major that doesn't necessarily feel like you anymore? Although you may be hesitant to change your major, it is more than ok to do so. Actually, believe it or not, you may even feel like a whole new person in a positive way once you make that step to changing.

I was one of those people who was scared but in need of a change come sophomore year of college. Was I good at my first major? Hell yes. Was I feeling a little lost in seeing a future in the profession that I had worked towards for since high school? Yes. After a while, I noticed that I wanted more. I wanted more knowledge and information about other majors that I may have looked past before. With that thought in mind...

Is it worth changing your major? Will you experience regrets?

If you feel like there is more to you that your major may not be matching then make the change. You will always question whether or not you are making the right decision with ANYTHING! There are always the back and forth thoughts of contentment or a craving for something new.

I'm not saying that it is a simple yes or no question when answering "Should I change my major?", because it's not, but overall, the end game is greater. Feeling that you are challenged yet enjoying the 50-minute classes each day, you have succeeded in your decision. There should be no regrets because you are only adding more knowledge to your inner self and opening more possibilities to your potential career. If you really are not sure what to do, seek out a school counselor or career advisor; often, they are able to put your thoughts into perspective giving you a second view apart from your own.

Definitely, think through your decision before approaching your Dean. Gather all the information regarding requirements of courses, what may already cover requirements in previous coursework that you have done and make the decision for yourself not for anyone else. It is your life. Regardless of others support you or not in your decision, the only being that matters in appreciating your change, is you.

Go kill the school game my loves! Everything will fall into place, it is just about finding the right path and taking the needed detours that may follow.

Be safe. Party hard and kill it my loves.

Much love.

xoxo

Toilet Troubles

"So, usually I would never go on a Tinder date but when you are out with girlfriends and a hot Bosnian guy says he wants to hang with you and his friends, you oblige. We head to their apartment and when I realized I may pee my pants if I don't find a bathroom soon. I ask for the bathroom and a friend of my tinder date shows me to it and said in all seriousness that I was not allowed to flush the toilet under ANY circumstances. Having a few drinks--or five--I relieved myself to, nevertheless, flush the toilet. Within seconds, his bathroom was flooded and towels were laid out everywhere to catch the toilet water. To say the least, we were not invited back"
