Because you clicked on this, I'm going to safely assume that you either have changed your major or it's crossed your mind before.

Let me put this to you straight, kid: Do it. Immediately.

I grew up in a household of teachers. Both of my parents have taught all their lives, all four of my grandparents, and a good amount of my great-grandparents. They've all been teachers or administrators in the education field.

My entire life I said I was going to be a lawyer until I got older and people started asking if I was going to go into teaching just like the rest of my family. It was a trend and I knew that people thought it should keep going. My older brother hadn't gone into education, so I thought I'd have to keep up the trend. I started saying yes to people that asked, and I believed myself.

I decided that I wanted to be a Secondary Education English teacher. I picked Shippensburg and decided that this would be my career path.

After the end of my first semester of college, I started having doubts (and not just because my GPA was low as hell). I started questioning if I could really handle dealing with kids my entire life. I started wondering if I could convey the thoughts in my head or curriculum in an efficient way.

My second semester went better, in a way. I was starting to get the hang of things, but I still laid in my bed at 4am having doubts and being scared that I wouldn't be happy. I couldn't even picture what my classroom would look like or what books I would even assign to my students.

Over the summer after my freshman year, I got a job and met the most amazing Human Resources representative that I had ever met. I started working at a bookstore and realized the diversity of the business world. I started looking into business school and printed off all these papers and forms that concerned changing your major and planned on changing it within the next semester to Human Resources Management.

I was scared to tell my mother; I never really had to come out about it because she ended up finding the paper work and asked me about it. She still supports me in everything I do and isn't at all disappointed that I won't be keeping the teacher trend going in my family.

The moral of the story is that you don't need to be scared. If you ever have doubts about who you are or what you want to be, do something about it. Changing your major is a huge leap, especially going from something like education to business management. I'm not going to sit here and say that changing your major is not a huge leap, because it is. It's one of the scariest things that you will ever do in your life.

I will say, though, that if you are having doubts at the age of 20, how will you feel at the age of 50 working a 9-5 job that may as well be titled "My Personal Hell"? If you're not happy, honestly, for the love of God change it. Take the leap of faith, believe in yourself, and make yourself happy.

Changing my major was the greatest thing that I have done in my current college career. I'm planning on going to law school after college to further my education in Employment and Human Resources Law. I wouldn't change my decision for the world, because I honestly think that this is what I was meant to do.

Just, change your major already. You won't regret it.
