Changing Your Major Multiple Times Is NOT A College Death Sentence

Going into college I had absolutely no idea what I wanted to be or what I wanted to do with my life.

At first I started off as a chemistry major. I had this great idea that I wanted to become an orthodontist. It was a great thought and my parents loved the idea. So, I thought what the heck let's give it a shot. Turns out I really didn't feel like I could go through with the whole orthodontist thing. I knew I was smart enough and if I stuck to it I would make a lot of money. As I started thinking about it more, I just didn't think that being an orthodontist was the right fit for me. Plus I hate science so I really don't know what I was thinking.

Second semester I had changed my major to mathematics. I always loved math as a child so I thought hey why not! I did great that semester, but then I started thinking well what will I do with a math degree. I had the thought of becoming a teacher but I don't like to speak in front of people. I love kids and everything but honestly I don't think I could deal with them the rest of my life. So at this point in my life I had no idea what I wanted to do or what even my major should be.

Over the summer before sophomore year, I had talked to my parents about switching to an accounting major. It's math and I don't have to speak in front of anyone. I had talked to a few accountants about what they do and how they like their job and if it would be a good field for me. So far, it has been great. Of course there are going to be a few hard classes but I like it so far.

Accounting is also a really good field to be in because everyone needs an accountant. So, I feel like I some what have my life together and know what I'm going to do with my life, but you know it can always change.

Ancient Roman Kings: 7 Leaders of Early Rome

The names and dates of the reigns of the first four kings, as well as the alternation of Sabin and Latin names, are more legendary than historical. The last three kings, of Etruscan origin, have an existence which seems less uncertain.

It is evident that all this is only a legend although archeology shows us little by little that these kings if they did not exist as the ancient history, describes them, have at least in the very Outlines were real as chief of a shepherd’s tribe. The period when kings ruled Rome could estimate at 245 years.

Love Lost

Being the girl that is falling for the boy is never easy.

You constantly text my phone telling me that you want to see me and hang out, even though we may not have sex we cuddle and that’s intimacy in its own. I’m tired of buying you food and being there for you like a girlfriend when you consistently tell me you aren't ready for a girlfriend. I am constantly feeling I’m getting slapped in the face because I’m doing all these things and getting nothing in return. Every day I feel myself liking you more which is just crazy because why would I even waste my time liking someone there isn’t a future with. I just want you to be honest with me and with yourself, tell me how you feel from your heart, stop just saying you aren’t ready. You are wasting time telling me you aren’t ready because while you are “getting ready” some guy somewhere else is telling me that he likes me and thinks I’m beautiful and wants to date me. I’m not asking for much, but I at least want exclusivity because you ask me for all these things but in return you give me nothing.

Pretty Little Liars

From reading the books in eighth grade to watching the television show all throughout high school, "Pretty Little Liars"basically defined my teenage existence. I was completely and totally obsessed on all accounts. However, even though I loved the fact that the books and the show are starkly different, there are simply just some ways in which the books are much better. Let's take a look:

Recently I was blessed to be a counselor at a wonderful camp, secluded in a cornfield somewhere in Virginia. I consider myself to be a seasoned camp counselor, as I have not only been a camper for most of my life but have been privileged enough to work multiple camps with all kinds of different facilities. I have worked camps with multi-thousand dollar facilities, with zip lines, rock walls, ropes courses, and boats. I have worked at camps with amazing water sports, camps with paintball, camps with canoes and paddle boats and floating blobs or trampolines in the middle of the water. I have worked at camps with in ground pools and camps without any pools, and even some camps with go-karts. I've had problem kids, kids who refuse to listen to anything I say, kids who sneak out after lights out to meet a significant other, and kids who are every camp counselors dream.
