It Is Okay To Not Know What Your Major Is Yet

A daily struggle for many college students

One of the most stressful things about being a college student is figuring out what your major is and what you want to do with it after you graduate.

Even though it seems like there are numerous options, sometimes simply choosing one is not so easy. I think there's sometimes so much pressure to pick a major within a certain amount of time. I have learned slowly that there is no need to rush. And trying more than one thing is okay and necessary.

Some people know exactly what they want and have it all planned out in their head. I came to college with an idea of what I wanted to do, and I was able to explore and expand upon that. However, not everyone comes to college feeling that sure and confident. Sometimes it seems like all everyone talks about is what their major is and what they will do with their life after college.

This is very important and exciting but it is also a very serious decision. When it comes to what you want to do and what you want to spend your life doing, it is totally necessary to take your time and take as many classes from different subjects as possible. College is also a time to figure out who you are what your interests are. It is a lot to juggle at once and sometimes it can all seem too fast or rushed. We are young and we are going to change our minds about so many things over and over.

I don’t think students get told enough that it will all be okay. It is going to work out. You do not have to know all the answers right now. There are many decisions to make and it can be difficult to work them all out but don’t get in a hurry. You will end up exactly where you are supposed to be.

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.
