Are you worrying because you are \u201cundecided\u201d about your major? You shouldn\u2019t.\u00a0Sometimes “Undecided” is the best major choice.<\/p>\n
While some college students may know from the start of their freshman year what they will major in, many of us have no clue. And some, like me, may have an inkling but end up changing their minds midway through college. And that\u2019s quite all right.<\/p>\n
In my junior year of high school I was set on psychology as a career choice, but once I started\u00a0freshman year in college, I was no longer sure that I wanted to continue on that route. Although I found psychology interesting, the profession no longer\u00a0resonated with me. So I chose psychology as my minor, and I\u2019ve been an undecided major until recently, now in my junior year.<\/p>\n
Being undecided for college can be a good thing.<\/strong> This means you\u2019re free to take a variety of classes \u00a0–\u00a0you’re not limited to the classes only for your major. This will help you figure out what you like and make it easier for you to choose the right major. You can\u00a0also use the time to get your general requirement classes out of the way.<\/p>\n Choosing a major too early can sometimes cost you money. When you start off with one major and then two years into your college career figure out it was the wrong move,\u00a0\u00a0you may end up staying in school longer. \u00a0Yikes!<\/p>\n If you\u2019re not quite sure about the career path you want, it’s okay. College is about new experiences and the classes you take can expose you to a lot of things and inevitably help you out in the long run. I\u2019ve taken a mix of business, psychology, journalism, and creative writing classes, and it’s been great getting to see what I like and what I don\u2019t like. I\u2019ve learned that business law is definitely not for me and that film writing is incredibly fascinating.<\/p>\n Now, as a junior in college, I\u2019ve finally decided on a Corporate Communications major. Taking the past two years to figure out what I wanted to study really helped me with my decision. Now I sign up for classes that I actually want to take because I\u2019ve gotten most of the required classes out of the way and I\u2019m more confident on what I want to study. <\/span><\/p>\n So my advice to all college students is to just take your time and see what’s out there. Take different classes or join clubs you never would have thought of joining. Once you find what you like, you\u2019ll be a lot more motivated and get the most out of your time in college. All of this can help you make the right decision. There\u2019s absolutely no rush; just enjoy the ride and you\u2019ll find out what you want to do.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Are you worrying because you are \u201cundecided\u201d about your major?
