"According to the National center for education statistics, about 80 percent of college students change their major at least once."

Since my summer orientation at UIndy, I have had this statistic drilled in my head. "It's okay to change your major and/or be exploring; we will help you find your way," they would say, but I shrugged it off. I've always prided myself on the fact that I was one of those people who had known what they wanted to be since they were little.... or so I thought.

I had started my freshman year of college, bright-eyed and passionate about the field of Biology. I had dreams and aspirations of becoming a young, hot, doctor and had plans on spending the next four-plus years buried in a microscope, but midway through the first semester, something changed. I had lost my passion and had NO clue what I wanted to do with my life.

It wasn't until the end of winter break that I figured out a general idea of what I want to do with my life and after much contemplation and an abundance of tears, I had finally decided on a Political Science major and a legal studies minor and after meeting my professors and taking classes pertaining to my major, I finally feel the sense of belonging I lacked in the Biology department. I am now on my way to becoming the young, hot attorney that I always secretly wanted to be... and I couldn't be happier.

So to those still out there still in high school, still exploring or even the people who "know" exactly what they want to be in life, don't be afraid to explore and be a "statistic." It may just work out for the better.
