Changing Your Major as Told by Zac Efron

In college, we spend hours upon hours stressing over things like chemistry tests, term papers, and picking the perfect party outfit. But if there's one thing that will stress any college student out more that all of those things combined, it's the thought that all of us have had at least once in our lives: "Should I change my major?"

Changing your major can be scary, but it helps to know that others before you have gone through the same struggle and confusion. As someone who truly believes Zac Efron is a total college kid trapped in the body of a movie star, I figured, who better to explain what changing you major (read: hell) is like? So, here are steps of deciding that changing your major is right for you told by Zefron himself:

So, you've picked a major, you've earned some credits towards it, and in general college is going great.

Then out of the blue, it hits you.

You think maybe, just maybe, you might be doing the wrong thing. You think you should maybe change your major.

The idea won't get out of your head. Soon you start to realize that this decision is a much bigger deal than you first realized and will take a lot of thought. I mean, your whole future could change, right?

You spend time thinking about it and spend nights going back and forth until the circles under your eyes are darker than you ever thought possible.

But, you finally decide that you think it is the right decision. And even if it's not, you're doing it anyway.

You spend hours reworking your schedules, calling advisors, and trying not to have a break down as you second guess yourself over and over.

You try to explain to everyone (including your parents) why you decided to do this but it just doesn't work.

Wondering why you went through all this and didn't just start with this major in the first place.

Occasionally the thought of your old major creeps back into your mind.

And you think about all the wasted credits that now fall into nothing but the "electives" category on your transcript.

But you're happy and you know you made the right decision.

Thanks Zac. We feel you.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
