I have recently just switched my major over from biology to human services. I think that's what I want to do, or so I am pretty sure. I wanted to blog about this because I feel like it's an important topic. Especially with the gradual increase of tuition time after time.
Originally, I wanted to go to school to study biology - my BS. But after this semester taking Gen Chem 1, I have changed my mind. Everyone says that Gen Chem 2 is much harder. And I'm thinking like, "HOW THE HECK AM I GONNA DO GEN CHEM 2?" So I thought about long hard and switching is what I have come to. It really sucks because I'm in the 2nd semester of my 3rd year in college and now I don't even know what my expected graduation date it. So sad. Not that I was going to graduate on time since my advisor suggested the wrong math class as my pre-req for chem. But it is what it is.
With that, I wanted to share my thoughts about college. You know, everyone thinks that you should know what you want to do when you graduate high school. But really, you shouldn't or so, you don't have to. College is a time to explore and from there, really know what you want to do. Everyone thinks that you should know what you want from college but that's not true - for the most part. I thought I wanted to go to med school but it's not. I wish I knew that earlier. I wish I was able to explore other careers so I don't have to go through what I am now - switching majors and graduating WAY past my expected grad date. However, I want to encourage those who really don't know what they want to do. It takes time to know and figure what you want to become and the kind of career you want to be working for the rest of your life. It's not always easy but with time, you'll definitely get there. Like me, ha. College it serious stuff especially when you're taking out massive loans. Then you gotta think about what you want to do when you only have 2 years. After 2 1/2 years (which is late) I sort of know what I want to do. So, continue to go to school and HAVE YOUR OPTIONS OPEN! I can't stress that enough.
Lastly, I want to thank my husband, friends, family and most importantly God for having been so supportive of this significant change in my life.
Thanks for reading. What are your thoughts? What are you going to school for? Do you know what you want to major in?
