To The Student Who Changed Their Major,
Everybody changes their major at least one time in college, right?
You are most likely a completely different person than you were in high school. Maybe for your case, growing up you always knew you wanted to do a certain career path. Even going into college your mind was still set on that career. Perhaps throughout your whole life you had no idea what you wanted to do, and maybe you're in college right now still confused about what you want to do for the rest of your life. Let me tell you this, everything is going to be okay. Whether you are a freshman, sophomore, junior, or a senior everything will be okay.
College is truly the place where you will find out new things about yourself. Things you like or dislike, or things that you are passionate about and will fight for. College could be a bad or a good change for you, it all depends on how you view that certain situation. Be adventurous and take classes outside your major or your interests.You may surprise yourself and fall in love with that class, and want to take more classes involving that major. Make appointments and meet with the professors in that department. Talk to them and tell them about your situation, and they will try to help you as much as they can. Take advantage of the resources around you, talk to your advisor and your professors. They have been in your shoes before and they are there to help you.
You have four years to change your mind and that's okay. No one is going to judge you, and to be honest nobody will care. It's your life and your future. Do what makes you happy, and work hard to become the best person and student you can be. Go out there and get your degree and prove to the people out there who say you are a "lost student." Do something that you will love, and get into a career that it won't feel like a job to you every morning you wake up.
