Is Double Majoring Worth It?
https://pxhere.com/en/photo/911859

The thing about college is that it is unpredictable and it changes every second, somewhat like emotions.

I have decided to double major and I genuinely don't know if I am making the correct decision. Choosing your major, or more appropriately majors, is a hard task and there are many people who are still deliberating their choices. It is difficult to think about what you want to study for the rest of your college years and possibly for the rest of your life.

I always thought that I would be doing computer science engineering or something of that sort and the moment I came to 11th grade, I said no to science. It was hard to figure out what I wanted to do if I wasn't doing engineering because I have been preparing to do that for my whole life.

I came to college with Business Economics and immediately started looking into other majors, anything I would find interesting like Astrophysics, Geography, or even Mathematics but I couldn't see myself doing that for my future so I stuck with economics.

I added Linguistics Computer Science because I have always love languages and at the same time, I am very interested in machine learning and programming and this major combines both and gives me the education that I want.

The main thing that you should think about before choosing your major(s) is that you should be comfortable with that subject, not in the way that you are inherently good at it, but if you get a C, you are still willing to continue with that subject and learn more.

Your major isn't about your GPA but it's about your passion to pursue that no matter what.

So maybe my GPA will take a hit with my tight schedule and vast classes but I will do it because I want to and that's how I know I have made the right choice.

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.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
