academic/life crisis?

Hello freshies and other underclassmen :) Now is the time that you all have to think about potential majors and concentrations.  I understand the confusion, stress, and frustration that goes into deciding a major and then getting all the requirements done in order to graduate on time. A little piece of advice I want to give the new freshmen class is to take advantage of one semester of freshmen year by taking all sorts of classes.  That is the best way to find out if it's something you really want to do or if you're doing it because you don't know what else to do.  I personally had a mid college epiphany after my sophomore year that I didn't want to do pre-medicine because of the simple fact that I didn't like it.  Too bad that I realized it a little late after all my basic pre-medicine  requirements were done. But it's never too late! I am now a communication studies and psychology double major AND am still able to graduate on time.  I don't regret this decision I made and I hope all of you find something you really love learning about. Because nothing's better than genuinely wanting to go to class and learn.  If you haven't experienced that desire then I challenge you to find your passion in college and in life :)
