What Am I Called To Do?

How do I know what I want to major in?

To really know what you want to do in college, you have to ask yourself many questions.  The main question you should be asking yourself is, "What am I truly passionate about?"  Making a decision about college is scary in it of itself but its main purpose is for growth. How will you make a life you're proud of post-graduation?  It's difficult coming to terms with something that will affect the course of your journey but that is what life is all about.  We often have to take risks to find out what we really enjoy.  Broadening your horizons is the foundation of a college education.  Creating better work habits, learning more, and experience is all a college education should be about and more. So when deciding what you want to major in, what do you enjoy? Have you set goals for yourself? Will you follow in someone's direction or will you make your own path? Bottom line, everybody is different. Major in a subject that you will enjoy doing; if we do everything in our life without passion or drive, then why do it at all.  All in all, consider your options, lay them out in front of you, and decide on something that will make you a better learner and innovative thinker. The sky is the limit. The amount of majors that are offered at particular colleges is often limited.  Finding your major is one thing, searching for colleges that specialize in that concentration, is often times difficult.

Can I change my major down the road if I lose interest? Will I be able to account for the loss of time?

What's great about college is that it provides students with opportunities to branch out and learn new things! If we stay in the same lane riding out life, will we ever see the sights we didn't know we needed to see? Things change and plans alter but life continues to go on. Making the decision to change your major down the road should never be looked down upon but encouraged. When you take specific courses in the efforts to receive a degree in the end run and don't enjoy what you're doing, change it. However, if the time comes where you feel that there needs to be a change in your direction, do it early. You don't want too much of your time wasted! "Time is money," spend it wisely. Also, when entering college, you don't have to have it all figured it out right when you walk through the campus gate. The purpose of your enrollment is to learn more about yourself as a person. What do you like and dislike? How do you want to impact the world once you graduate? It's important to ask yourself a series of questions. All in all, yes, you will be able to make up for the lost time, but the experience will make or break you. Keep it positive, make your experience a notable one.
