Choosing a major is hard enough, but changing your major is a completely different ballgame. Though it’s a rollercoaster of emotions, you’ll probably be grateful you did in the end. Here’s the range of emotions you feel when you change your major as told by Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump.

1. Confusion

You don’t like how your major is progressing. You’ve become disinterested in your classes. You don’t know what you’re doing with your life anymore so you begin to question everything.

2. Wonder

You start to ask “what if” questions all the time. You imagine what it would be like to be a nurse, an artist, a teacher, an entrepreneur…everything but what you currently are working toward.

3. Helpless

You feel like no one knows what you’re going through when it comes to this existential question of what you’re doing with your life. So you talk to everyone around you. Someone has to have an answer, right?

4. Understood

You finally find someone who has experienced the same situation as you. It’s like that Alka-Seltzer slogan: “Oh what a relief it is!”

5. Carefree

People are always asking what you plan on doing now that you’ve switched your major. You can either tell exactly what you want to do or give them an extremely vague answer because you still don’t know.

6. Fear

You worry that you’re walking down the wrong path. Every possible disaster that could come of this switch constantly consumes your mind.

7. Peace

You’re finally feeling content in knowing this was the perfect choice for you and your future. Those fears still pop up from time to time, but they're quickly pushed down when you remember why you made this decision.

8. Excitement

You’re registering for your new classes next semester, and excitement spills from the inside out. Thinking about the new classes you’ll be taking for your new major makes you giddy.
