Changing your major is more than OK.

Why I Choose Not To Be Pre-Med
Her Campus

I started out like almost every Creighton student … Bio, Pre-Med. I had my mind set that I was going to become a doctor. I was so in love with the idea that I would not look any other way. However as I started to actually experience what it is like to be Pre-Med, I found myself falling out of love with the idea.

I actually started to question whether I was Pre-Med because I wanted to or for my parents and friends. I slowly realized that I want in love with idea of being a doctor but with the idea of helping people.

If you are reading this and not sure if you want to be Pre-Med, the best advice I can give you is listen to your heart. As cheesy and dumb as that sounds, you are the only person that knows what you want. At the end of the day, it is your life and no one is going to live it for you.

Flash forward two years, and I can say proudly I made the right choose. I don’t regret being Pre-Med. Honestly, without it, I would have never found myself. I am currently a journalism major and in love with it every more each day. I am helping people in my own personal way. I hope to be the voice of the voiceless.

There are a million of possibilities of career chooses for you. It might surprise you what career you decided to do. But if you decided to stay in Pre-Med, I applaud you and cheer you on your journey. We are all different and with different purposes.

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.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
