Changing Majors: A Normal Thing to Do

"To improve is to change; to be perfect is to change often." - Winston Churchill

Changing Majors: A Normal Thing to Do
Textbooks.com

When looking at schools, people ask you what you want to do. I had an idea, well many. If I can remember correctly I had started off wanting to go for the culinary arts since I love to cook and anything related to food. Then it was architecture where my best friend and I thought we would make amazing architects. When looking at schools I was set on going for computer science since I loved computers and technology and when I applied to the schools I thought that was it. Next Senior year of high school. This is where I realized I didn't want to go for computer science but instead I wanted to go for accounting after taking a high school level accounting class. So I enrolled in an accounting program up at school, which I do not regret at all, thought this is what I want to do for the rest of my life, and buckled up for the rest of college with hopes of getting a job right out of school since we have recruiters for the big firms in the city here. Finally, I learned accounting was not what I wanted to do at the end of my sophomore year. I dropped all my accounting dreams and looked into communications. I learned that with a communications major I had multiple things I could look into doing and as a bonus, all my business classes would just go to my minor instead of being a waste of time. Now here I am senior year, looking into what I want to do when I graduate and I am actually excited to know that I found something I want to do.

I guess what I am trying to say with all of this is never be afraid to look into other options not only in college with majors but with anything in life. Some times your first, second, third, or fourth idea may not be the best option. It took myself a few tries and then a realization that what I thought I wanted was not what I actually wanted to do. Now I can happily say that becoming a communications major showed me what options are open to me and that now it seems like the path that is my future is coming together.

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.
