"Do something you love. That way, you'll never have to work a day in your life."

I'll never forget someone saying this to me one day in high school. At the time, I didn't think much of it. However, it has constantly been playing in the back of my mind throughout college.

So, you may be going into college feeling like I was: Scared, anxious, and overwhelmed. You may have absolutely no idea what you want to major in. You may be thinking, "What am I even interested in? How am I supposed to pick one thing to do for the rest of my life?"

Here are some helpful hints to help you find that thing that makes YOU never have to work a day in your life.

Get involved.

I can't stress how important it is to get involved. You may think you won't find something that interests you, but take a look at your college website. Whether it be an intramural sport, Chess Club, Student Government, Cru, Chemistry Club, Theatre - there is something for everyone. You will probably learn that there are a ton of cool organizations that you never even thought would be a club.

Take a class that interests you.

Every major requires electives, so why not take one that interests you? Some colleges even offer beginner classes for learning a new instrument.

Volunteer.

Not only does it look good on a resume, but donating time to others is one of the most rewarding feelings. I don't know how many of my friends have found their passion through a volunteering experience.

Get to know your professors.

Your professors want you to succeed. Introduce yourself on the first day so that they have a face to the name. Many professors are in charge of clubs, research opportunities, studying abroad, and more.

Get out and socialize!

If you're living in a dorm, get to know the people on your floor. See what they are majoring in, and ask them why. You never know, you may relate to someone's story more than you ever thought.

Think about getting involved in Greek Life.

Fraternities and sororities are a great way to meet people as well as network. You will meet people with practically every major in one.

Attend the events at your school.

Whether it be Relay for Life or an organization fair, there is always something going on at most colleges.

Look into a minor or certificate.

You might be having a hard time choosing one major. That's why schools offer minors and certificates. Many classes required for a minor often overlap with college requirements or classes you already need for your major anyway. Some colleges allow you to work on a certificate even after you have graduated with your degree. Look into it, you may be surprised how little classes you really need.

Shadow different professions.

Nothing is more important than putting yourself in the shoes of the profession you're thinking of studying. You may not have time during the school year to do this, but think about doing this during your winter and summer break.

Make frequent meetings with your academic advisor.

Your academic advisor wants to help you. The more he or she gets to know you, the more they can offer suggestions to help you.

Most of all, relax. It's going to be okay.

You are young and know that changing majors is common, even changing majors more than once. I have friends that are seniors that have completely changed their mind on what they want to do, and you know what? They are okay! In the end, nobody is really going to care that you changed your major, right?

You are the one that should be happy - that's most important.
