I Am Going Into College Undecided And That's More Than Okay

It's okay to go into college with an undecided major, you'll most likely change your mind anyways if you are as indecisive as me.

I Am Going Into College Undecided And That's More Than Okay

Well, I am officially 18, and with that age comes multiple changes. I graduated from high school, got my first tattoo,and chose the official college that I will be attending in the fall.

Choosing what you want to do after High school is always one of the biggest decisions you will make. I decided to continue my education at the University of Wisconsin - River Falls, and am currently undecided in my major.

"Do you know where you are going to college?"

"What are you majoring in?"

"Why are you going to college when you don't even know what you want to do with your future?"

THAT'S EXACTLY WHY I AM GOING TO COLLEGE.

College is a place to figure out what you like and what you don't like. It's a place to receive help from advisers and to let them steer you in the right direction. It's a place where you can focus on yourself without the distractions. It's a chance to try out all sorts of different clubs and sports.

In High School, you had certain classes each year that you had to take whether you liked it or not. In college you can take classes that interest you, that you have a passion for. Your classes focus around your major, I am undecided, therefore I take classes that interest me. If I wanted to take an oceanography class, heck, I'm going to take an oceanography class. It could lead to a career in animal science. If I wanted to take a glass blowing class, I'll take a glass-blowing class. It could lead to a career in art!

All I'm saying is don't judge someone because they haven't had a dream career since they were four years old.

I am indecisive, I change my mind all the mind. I thought about being a photographer, pastry chef, teacher, guidance counselor, and you expect me to have an exact decision of what I choose to get a degree in within a few months of choosing a college to attend? No. Let me be undecided, let me make mistakes, let me find my passion, and give me time. I will figure it out eventually, and if I don't then I will be just fine.

I want to discover myself and not let myself be confined by the limits of a random major I felt pressured to choose. I just want to be successful. I want to be happy.

On the Upper East Side, Blair Waldorf is an icon. She's what every girl aspires to be. She's beautiful, confident, and can handle any obstacle that life throws at her. Sure, she may just be a television character. But for me, she's a role model and theres a lot that can be learned from Queen B.

We Heart It

Over the past decade, television has undergone a very crucial transition: the incorporation of female lead characters. Since it's a known fact that girls actually do run the world (Beyonce said so herself), it's time for the leading ladies of the small screen to get some credit. Without these characters, women would still be sitting in the background of our favorite shows. These women are not only trailblazers for female empowerment, but role models for women worldwide. With that, here are 15 of the smartest, sassiest ladies gracing our screens that remind us that women do, indeed, rule:

If you are like me, you have an interesting personality. Basically, you love to be sassy and snarky, gossip, and act like a total bitch (not really), but deep down, you are actually a very genuinely nice person. The idea of actually hurting someone truly makes you feel bad, and you probably have never actually hurt someone’s feelings because your kindness always shines through, even if you do not want it to. Not sure exactly what I would call this type of personality, but if you identify with it, here are some feelings you can undoubtedly relate to.
