I started my freshman year of college with a goal in mind - I wanted to major in print journalism. It may be early, but this is what will most likely happen because I love it. I love writing, I love interviewing, and I love editing. I'm good at it and I know what I'm doing.

But, who says you have to major in something just because you've done it for a long time?

This quarter, I took an introductory anthropology class. For those of you that don't know, anthropology is the study of humankind. There are many sections that one can specialize in, such as culture, religion, medicine, archaeology, and I'm positive there are more, but I took a liking to biological anthropology - the study of evolution and what makes humans do what they do- among many, many other things, but that's a simple definition.

I took this class on a complete whim. I registered late and none of the other classes I wanted would aid me in my future towards journalism, were available. This class still isn't over and I love it. It's something I didn't even know about until I signed up for the class. I had no expectations and no idea what I was getting myself into, but yet, I am now considering it as a possible second major or my only major.

So many people have their mind set on one thing and don't take the time to seek other possibilities. Sometimes it works for them, but other times, people are disappointed when they look back on their time in college realize how many other options were there for them. For instance, I started middle school wanting to be a photography major (I don't even know if that's a thing), then I started thinking about being an English major (still a contender), then a journalism major (probably going to happen), and now an anthropology major (who knows???). I'd like to take at least one class for each, as long as it fits the criteria for my AA, and see where it takes me.

Others don't even have a clue what they're doing, that's okay too. Near the end of high school, everyone is asking you, "What do you want to study?" and responding with "I don't know" usually earns you a frown. But the fact of the matter is, you never know what you're going to encounter once you take your classes and something could change your path.
