To The Student Who Changed Their Major,

Everybody changes their major at least one time in college, right?

You are most likely a completely different person than you were in high school. Maybe for your case, growing up you always knew you wanted to do a certain career path. Even going into college your mind was still set on that career. Perhaps throughout your whole life you had no idea what you wanted to do, and maybe you're in college right now still confused about what you want to do for the rest of your life. Let me tell you this, everything is going to be okay. Whether you are a freshman, sophomore, junior, or a senior everything will be okay.

College is truly the place where you will find out new things about yourself. Things you like or dislike, or things that you are passionate about and will fight for. College could be a bad or a good change for you, it all depends on how you view that certain situation. Be adventurous and take classes outside your major or your interests.You may surprise yourself and fall in love with that class, and want to take more classes involving that major. Make appointments and meet with the professors in that department. Talk to them and tell them about your situation, and they will try to help you as much as they can. Take advantage of the resources around you, talk to your advisor and your professors. They have been in your shoes before and they are there to help you.

You have four years to change your mind and that's okay. No one is going to judge you, and to be honest nobody will care. It's your life and your future. Do what makes you happy, and work hard to become the best person and student you can be. Go out there and get your degree and prove to the people out there who say you are a "lost student." Do something that you will love, and get into a career that it won't feel like a job to you every morning you wake up.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
