Changing Your Major Multiple Times Is NOT A College Death Sentence

Going into college I had absolutely no idea what I wanted to be or what I wanted to do with my life.

At first I started off as a chemistry major. I had this great idea that I wanted to become an orthodontist. It was a great thought and my parents loved the idea. So, I thought what the heck let's give it a shot. Turns out I really didn't feel like I could go through with the whole orthodontist thing. I knew I was smart enough and if I stuck to it I would make a lot of money. As I started thinking about it more, I just didn't think that being an orthodontist was the right fit for me. Plus I hate science so I really don't know what I was thinking.

Second semester I had changed my major to mathematics. I always loved math as a child so I thought hey why not! I did great that semester, but then I started thinking well what will I do with a math degree. I had the thought of becoming a teacher but I don't like to speak in front of people. I love kids and everything but honestly I don't think I could deal with them the rest of my life. So at this point in my life I had no idea what I wanted to do or what even my major should be.

Over the summer before sophomore year, I had talked to my parents about switching to an accounting major. It's math and I don't have to speak in front of anyone. I had talked to a few accountants about what they do and how they like their job and if it would be a good field for me. So far, it has been great. Of course there are going to be a few hard classes but I like it so far.

Accounting is also a really good field to be in because everyone needs an accountant. So, I feel like I some what have my life together and know what I'm going to do with my life, but you know it can always change.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.
