Before starting my first semester of college, I was told that I would change my major a thousand times before graduating, and I never believed them. I have been all about science my entire life, and I couldn't imagine ever changing my life. What would I do besides study science? There was nothing that has ever sounded better than science. I thought I had it all planned out; become an Allied Health Sciences major and pursue a career in Physical Therapy. But one day, everything changed. What everyone was saying was coming true. I was devastated. I did not think that I would ever change my major, or that I would never be a future healthcare professional. I spent months avoiding the decision, hoping it was one of those days where I was just having a bad day and it was all just a thought. I was wrong.

I decided that as much as I love healthcare, it was not for me. I made the biggest change in my life the first semester of my senior year, where I have chosen to go into Science Journalism and pursue a career in that field. I did not think that I was ever going to change my studies, however, I cannot begin to explain how happy I am with this change and everything that my new studies has the potential to offer me.

I have come to realize that it is okay to change your major when you are in college. I was always someone who did not like to admit that I was not happy with the healthcare field, but once I finally took a step back and realized that, I have been so happy with how my life has played out. I cannot wait to see what my life has to offer!
