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

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.

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.
