Take the time to find out what you want to be instead of rushing through it not figuring it out at all.

To The Student Who Wants To Change Their Major

It is weird isn't it? You are always asked what you want to be when you grow up since day one of your school career. You either said Astronaut, Rock star, Princess, or a Cow Boy. After you were almost done with high school, you get that same question asked again, but you have a more realistic answer.... Doctor, Veterinarian, Dentist, Psychologist, Lawyer, etc. We have the thought it our mind, that if we do not pick something soon, we will be not so lucky. Here is what I know...We as soon to be adults, are going to change our minds probably a hundred times before we know exactly what we want to do.

Don't get nervous when you are sitting in a lecture hall, learning about your "major" and end up absolutely hating it. No one told you who you should be.

You are your own person and that's how it has to be. Do not, I repeat DO NOT stay with something you are completely hesitant about.

Take the chance to walk away while you can, before you end up being unhappy with the rest of your life because you are not doing something that makes you feel good.

Take a bunch of electives throughout the first couple semesters of college, because you might find your calling in one of those classes. Maybe you love to draw, or play an instrument, or maybe you just really love working with others.

Take the time to find out what you want to be instead of rushing through it not figuring it out at all.

Change your major when you know for sure, that what you are doing now, you really despise.

Learn to be okay with your decision and know that everything will work out in the end for you. I know that a lot of college kids do not stay in the major they intended to do when they first started out in college.

Do not feel rushed by students, faculty, parents, friends, etc. you make time for you and learn different things you never thought you would enjoy.

College is not only supposed to be all about working towards your goal of what you want to do, but finding that one specific thing that you love doing.

The worst feeling someone can feel, is regret so do not regret anything in college and do not regret making the right decision.

Know your worth and do not sell yourself short, always make choices for you and no one else.


GOOD LUCK!

* Hello everyone, I hope you enjoyed this article....I wrote this because I am thinking about changing my major as well. Right now I am a Psychology Major, but I think I am changing it to Communications with a minor in Journalism. It is never to late to start where you want to end up.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
