Changing Your Major as Told by Zac Efron

In college, we spend hours upon hours stressing over things like chemistry tests, term papers, and picking the perfect party outfit. But if there's one thing that will stress any college student out more that all of those things combined, it's the thought that all of us have had at least once in our lives: "Should I change my major?"

Changing your major can be scary, but it helps to know that others before you have gone through the same struggle and confusion. As someone who truly believes Zac Efron is a total college kid trapped in the body of a movie star, I figured, who better to explain what changing you major (read: hell) is like? So, here are steps of deciding that changing your major is right for you told by Zefron himself:

So, you've picked a major, you've earned some credits towards it, and in general college is going great.

Then out of the blue, it hits you.

You think maybe, just maybe, you might be doing the wrong thing. You think you should maybe change your major.

The idea won't get out of your head. Soon you start to realize that this decision is a much bigger deal than you first realized and will take a lot of thought. I mean, your whole future could change, right?

You spend time thinking about it and spend nights going back and forth until the circles under your eyes are darker than you ever thought possible.

But, you finally decide that you think it is the right decision. And even if it's not, you're doing it anyway.

You spend hours reworking your schedules, calling advisors, and trying not to have a break down as you second guess yourself over and over.

You try to explain to everyone (including your parents) why you decided to do this but it just doesn't work.

Wondering why you went through all this and didn't just start with this major in the first place.

Occasionally the thought of your old major creeps back into your mind.

And you think about all the wasted credits that now fall into nothing but the "electives" category on your transcript.

But you're happy and you know you made the right decision.

Thanks Zac. We feel you.

"The Office" is a mockumentary based on everyday office life featuring love triangles, silly pranks and everything in between. It can get pretty crazy for just an average day at the office.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

Books were always about understanding for me, about learning the way someone else sees, about connection.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

I keep making this joke whenever the idea of books is brought up: "God, I wish I knew how to read." It runs parallel to another stupid phrase, as I watch my friends struggle through their calculus classes late at night in our floor lounge: "I hope this is the year that I learn to count." They're both truly idiotic expressions, but, when I consider the former, I sometimes wonder if there's some truth to it.
