If you're considering changing your major, that's OK. It takes time to find what you're meant to do.

College can be stressful, to say the least. You leave your hometown, move in with three strangers, become responsible for everything, and to top it all off, you have to make sure you love what you'll be doing for the rest of your life.

That really messed me up during my first semester.

I went into my first year of college knowing exactly what I wanted to do -- or so I thought.

My plan was to get my degree in Music Education and become a high school band director. A few weeks in, I realized that while I still loved music, I had lost my desire to teach it.

I was so lost for a couple of days, I didn't know what I was going to do, but I knew I had to decide soon, or else I'd be stuck in a career that I wasn't absolutely passionate about.

I weighed my options and finally found a solution that would work out for me. I went to my adviser and spoke to her about changing my major. She was in full support of me doing what I loved, and I knew I had made the right decision.

I changed my major to Technical Theatre that day, and I walked out of her office with a ton of stress off my shoulders and a full heart. I knew that's what I was meant to do.

A friend of mine once found herself in a similar situation.

Let's call her Rachel. Rachel graduated high school with me, we ended up at the same college, and she decided to major in Computer Science. Similar to my conflict, she went through her classes for a couple weeks before she realized she hated what she was doing.

Naturally, she went to her adviser as well, to discuss her options. Rachel thought it over, and decided she wanted to go into Mass Communications, with an emphasis on Public Relations.

She was happy for the rest of the year, and earned her spot on the President's list with a great GPA for the year, but she still didn't feel complete. This fall, she came back to college knowing she wanted to change her major yet again, this time to theatre.

I know she made the right choice, and that she's doing what she absolutely loves.

My point is, if you're about to graduate and go to college, it's OK if you don't know what you want to do.

No one really does at first.

It takes time to find what you're meant to do, and that's OK. I promise, you're not alone.
