Should I Change My College Major?

Ever feel like you may want to try something different career-wise or you are stuck in a major that doesn't necessarily feel like you anymore? Although you may be hesitant to change your major, it is more than ok to do so. Actually, believe it or not, you may even feel like a whole new person in a positive way once you make that step to changing.

I was one of those people who was scared but in need of a change come sophomore year of college. Was I good at my first major? Hell yes. Was I feeling a little lost in seeing a future in the profession that I had worked towards for since high school? Yes. After a while, I noticed that I wanted more. I wanted more knowledge and information about other majors that I may have looked past before. With that thought in mind...

Is it worth changing your major? Will you experience regrets?

If you feel like there is more to you that your major may not be matching then make the change. You will always question whether or not you are making the right decision with ANYTHING! There are always the back and forth thoughts of contentment or a craving for something new.

I'm not saying that it is a simple yes or no question when answering "Should I change my major?", because it's not, but overall, the end game is greater. Feeling that you are challenged yet enjoying the 50-minute classes each day, you have succeeded in your decision. There should be no regrets because you are only adding more knowledge to your inner self and opening more possibilities to your potential career. If you really are not sure what to do, seek out a school counselor or career advisor; often, they are able to put your thoughts into perspective giving you a second view apart from your own.

Definitely, think through your decision before approaching your Dean. Gather all the information regarding requirements of courses, what may already cover requirements in previous coursework that you have done and make the decision for yourself not for anyone else. It is your life. Regardless of others support you or not in your decision, the only being that matters in appreciating your change, is you.

Go kill the school game my loves! Everything will fall into place, it is just about finding the right path and taking the needed detours that may follow.

Be safe. Party hard and kill it my loves.

Much love.

xoxo

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
