How I Finally Chose My Major

Trying to decide what you want to do for the rest of your life at 20 is stressful to say the least.

How I Finally Chose My Major
every pixel.com

Going into college I thought I knew exactly what I wanted to do once I got there. I wanted to major in Kinesiology and thought I wanted to be a physical therapist. After one semester I decided that was definitely something I did not want to do and questioned even being in the medical field.

The next couple semesters I was taking a bunch of different classes to see if I could figure out what I would want to major in. The only thing I discovered was that accounting was not my strong suit and I would never pursue a job that has anything to do with it.

It took me almost a full two years of being undecided and taking random classes to finally find something I enjoyed doing. After taking some classes I decided I wanted to do something with business or do something where I could be creative. I decided advertising and marketing would be perfect for me and I would be able to do a lot of things with it in my future. Before going into my junior year I was still a little skeptical of majoring in advertising, but the classes I am enrolled in this semester have been so fun and way better than I could have ever imagined. I love the classes I'm taking and it has proved to me that I did pick the best major for myself.

It's stressful not knowing what you want to do with your future especially if everyone around you has their whole life planned out and know exactly what they want to do. It is also really nice to know there are people around you who don't know what they want to do and people will change their minds multiple times and some even change their senior year, and that is ok. As long as you love what you are doing, it won't feel like a chore. I couldn't be happier with my major and I cannot wait to see where it takes me.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
