Major Change
It was fall quarter of my fifth year, after taking three quarters of nursing I realized that it wasn’t for me. I thought about how difficult it would be for me, and if I would actually want to struggle through my major courses throughout the rest of my college years compared to actually taking classes I understand and enjoy.
As students entering college we sometimes get caught up in doing the things that are expected by our parents, teachers, culture or any other outside information rather than pursuing the fields we feel passionate about.
College is seen as just another learning curve in life; the time where we learn who we are as people or the type of person we want to be in life. Why wouldn’t you want to pursue the best outcome for yourself or enter a career that you feel fits you best?
Such decisions should be based on your lifelong aspirations because at the end of the day you will be the one who has to deal with them.
Students should never fear change; change can be viewed as a path to becoming a better you. It is only natural to want the best in life. If changing your major is something that you feel will aid you to a path of success, it should not be something you pass up. Be bold about your pursuit of happiness.
