There Is Nothing Wrong With Changing Your Major

When I first began my college experience at a small university in the state of Alabama, I thought I had everything all planned out. You want the truth? The truth is I didn't have it all planned out. I thought I wanted to go into marketing or some other business aspect and settle for a random desk job for the rest of my life. The school I started at was a small liberal arts school, so many of the students were pursuing majors that I had never even considered. One of my key problems was that I was aware of most of the majors offered, but I had no idea what you could actually do with them.

When you finally understand the necessities of looking at future possibilities of someone with certain majors, you're better able to understand what major you think you should pursue. There is absolutely nothing wrong with taking your time finding out what you want to do with your life. I mean, why would you waste possibly tens of thousands of dollars on a degree, not knowing if you're going to actually like your potential career or not? I changed my major many times, because I got to college and discovered all of these fascinating subjects that we never took in high school.

I say all of this to let you know that it is okay to change your major. It's okay to seriously ponder on what you want to do for the rest of your life. Just understand that you are doing yourself a favor by continuing your education, so don't sell yourself short!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
