Some of us know what we want to major in when we first step foot onto the campus of our dreams. However, there are some of us that flip flop between majors and careers that we sometimes don't want, and we often don't know what we want to do with our lives. Some of us just want to major in every major we hear about, but in reality, we just can't because of the cost and time needed. Most of the time I ask myself, why do we have to know the career we want after college? And what if we don't like where it leads us? I am one of those people who flip flops between careers and majors and has no idea what she wants to do after college. This is why I decided to major in multidisciplinary studies.

Growing up, we all had those moments when we were saying that we wanted to be a tiger trainer for the circus, an astronaut or even a doctor. Once I hit high school, I tried to take control of my brain and figure out what I wanted to do. At first I want to be a teacher, but then found out that the pay wasn't that great. I then moved onto fashion merchandising, and thought about what kind of job I really wanted out of that major; I came up blank. I've had friends and family ask, "What do you want to do after college?" All I could do in response is shrug.

Once I moved to Washington and was accepted at Western, I decided to major in journalism. I thought, "Hey I could probably live my life after I graduate like 'The Devil Wears Prada!'" Working at a fashion magazine and wearing haute couture gowns and suits. But once I took a news-writing class, I found out that it wasn't for me. Being told what to write about wasn't my jam, I wanted to write about things I wanted to write about.

It's now spring quarter of 2016, and I have finally found a major to stick with for good. I chose the multidisciplinary studies as my last -- and final -- major because it lets me take a wide variety of classes and gives me time to figure out what I really want to do after college and also to discover my interests. I received a list of classes (upper-divisional of course) that I could take over the next three quarters.

Sometimes choosing a major that doesn't have a set career path is a smart choice if you truly don't know what you want to do after college is over. It gives you time to maybe take a year off, travel, volunteer, work the current job you have, or honestly do anything you want until you figure your life out. Why plan your life out now when you could just wait and see where life's choices take you. Spontaneity, am I right?
