It’s been almost a full year of being an undecided major – aka the stressing out about finding one even though everything seems to be doing great or not so great and you don’t know what you are doing with your life ah major.
But I have found that there are some things all Undecided Majors can relate to…
1. The stress that comes with, “So, what’s your major?”
And the awkward answer that follows after it of “ummm, I am actually undecided still.”
2. The even more anxious question of, “Oh okay, so what are you interested in?”
And then you list off the ten to twenty-five different majors you have picked out in your mind that you’ve been looking over for the past couple of weeks.
3. Putting in all of the what-if scenarios of what your major could possibly be…
And freaking out because there are TOO MANY OPTIONS.
4. Telling your friends and family a different major everyday just to see how it feels.
“Major? Oh, psychology.” “Wait no, cinema and production.” “Hold on, just kidding. I am going to be business administration.”
5. Spending one night making lists of the possible majors and minors you might be interested in taking.
And then looking back at in the morning wondering why you were suddenly interested in THAT major?
6. Introducing yourself as the only Undecided major in the class.
Well this is embarrassing.
7. But then that sweet moment of finding another person who is also Undecided and bonding over it.
Yay! Friendship! Let’s stress out together!
