Coming into college, I thought I had a very clear vision of my future. I thought I knew what I wanted to do and how to get there.

All I had ever wanted to do was something is vocal music, so I chose vocal music education. Choir, specifically show choir, was my passion and I absolutely wanted to spend every second of every day doing exactly that. I became overwhelmed with stress and I was unhappy with my education. Those negative feelings impacted me so much that I started to associate those negative feelings with choir. This won't be the case for every student, but, sadly, it was for me. I was so lost and confused and I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life anymore (I still don't, but I've decided that's okay).

I ended up transferring schools, which was the best decision I've ever made, and decided to be a political science major at my new school. I have always been really interested in the government and politics so I thought it might be a good fit for me.

After one semester, I just decided that it wasn't for me and maybe I did want to do music again...I thought maybe since I'm at a new school it would be a different situation. After a lot of thought and existential crises over the summer, I just decided that it would be best for me to come into the new semester with an open mind and no set major.

At this point, I wish that I would have come into college being undecided because constantly being torn on what I wanted to do with my life and if I was studying the right thing caused a lot of unnecessary stress that could have easily been avoided.

Now after meeting with my advisor and telling her my new plan, I have a series of classes that I get to take that fit my interests. I've never been happier in college and it's all because I'm actually exploring my options and not confining myself to one specific area that I'm unsure about.

Yes, I do get a lot of weird looks when I get asked what I'm going to college for and I say that I'm undecided, but I'm happier and more excited about furthering my education than I have ever been.

The best advice I can give anyone who is unsure what they're doing in college or still trying to decide what they want to do is to be open-minded and take as many classes in as many different fields as you want.

You don't have to decide what you want to do right away. Make your college experience a huge learning experience in every way possible.
