Nowadays many people minor, double minor, or have a concentration in college. Essentially this means extra work for those that classify as these types of students. It can be very overwhelming at first, not thinking that you will finish everything on time. But the key is time management! I have made it into my junior year as an English major with a concentration in secondary education, so if I can do it, so can you!

As I said, you need to manage your homework. The thing they don't tell you about college is that you need to do a ridiculous amount of reading. Start your homework right away. This may sound annoying and you'll think you'll have plenty of time to do work but you won't. Balancing at least five classes plus whatever else you may have going on, start right away. It will lessen your work load.

Many schools have you take general education classes in addition to the ones that are required for your major. This means you may have to take up to five or more extra classes that you may not even be interested. So besides taking the classes for your major, you feel like you are wasting time with the extra classes. Sure some of them may be fun and interesting to you but it just means more work for you.

Depending on the size of your school, you may also have to walk more to your other classes for the second major. Luckily at Endicott, the buildings are close together so I do not have to worry about that. But it still happens to people that I know and I mean yeah exercise is good for you but a long walk with a backpack on is going to make you sweaty before class.

In the end, being a double major means you will be more versatile in the job field. It can allow you to have more opportunities and you will learn more in your studies. Yes, it is more work but you only get to experience college once. You will learn so much and still be able to have a life as long as you plan wisely and plan ahead.
