As students in high school, you're told that you do not need to decide what you want to do. You visit college after college and you have to give a guess, but everyone says do not worry, you will change your mind. I hate that.
As a college freshman, people still tell me that your major or your plan will change, and maybe it will, but right now I love thinking that my future will end up how I picture it. To all the students out there who question themselves and feel like they are forced to do so, ignore it! You have all the power.
Ever since I was little I had interests that faded but always came back. I loved psychology. I may have not realized it, but I thought a therapist was a great job and I loved the aspect of how people learn differently. I realize now, that passion was psychology all along.
Throughout my whole life I always joked I would be president one day. Okay, maybe I did not always mean it as a joke, BUT I visited Washington D.C. last year, and I loved it. I loved seeing everything that there was to do, that I still have my pass to sit in at the Senate in my desk at school. I loved the idea of government and law.
Currently, I am a psychology and government & law double major. I absolutely love it. I have known for a while that I have had these interested and I have continued to enjoy them. As the months continue, I still do not question my choice. There is no need for someone to do that either.
To all the students out there who know what they want to do, and who are told to doubt that, be open, but do not fear. You will make the right choice. You will figure it out and follow your passion. You will be great at whatever you do. As a second semester freshman, I am confident that I can do it, so I know you can, too.
Good luck!
