Every
time I meet someone new here, the discussion of majors in inevitably brought
up. The second I hear someone say they already have their major decided all I
feel is irritated. How does someone my age have their life figured out already?
I go from class to class and my mind gets changed on what my major should be. I
hear other people say their major and next thing I know I’m googling what I can
do with a mathematics major even though I don’t even like math that much. The
pressure sets in as I see more people posting on Twitter and Facebook about how
after only a month of school they have already declared their major, but I feel
more torn than ever.
Deciding on a
major and committing to it feels me with dread. I feel like just two weeks ago
I was being forced to decide on what college I wanted to go to, and that would
only affect me for four years at most. I feel like choosing my major is
choosing what the rest of my life will look like, and that I have to do it soon
or else I will fall behind. My second day here I sat in a room with other
undecided students, and our advisors told us we were at an advantage for being
undecided. Sadly, I’m not at the point where I believe them.
