Many freshmen have no idea what they want to study. They\u2019re just getting their cores out of the way and figuring it out as they go along. That\u2019s not the case for all freshmen though. I know a friend of mine who is double majoring and minoring. Poor guy. We\u2019re only freshmen and he knows that the years ahead will be hell academics-wise.<\/span><\/p>\n

Meanwhile, I\u2019ve only figured out what I want to major in, Geology. I like Geology, it\u2019s neat. We can learn so much from rocks, like the atmosphere of the Earth millions of years ago or the effects of pollution on aquatic species. Okay, both of those are a bit of a stretch, but studying rocks and minerals can yield a whole world of information.<\/span><\/p>\n

But I also want to minor in something. I\u2019m split between Communication Studies and Computer Science. I enjoy both topics. I\u2019ve been extremely passionate about computers my whole life, working for a tech company the last 2 summers. But communication is just so fascinating. How communication has evolved from noises our mouths make to invisible signals in the air to text on a screen is mind boggling. I wish I could pick both.<\/span><\/p>\n

Too bad I can\u2019t. I mentioned that my friend was double majoring and minoring. I don\u2019t remember the specific majors and minors he is going for, but the only reason he is able to do that is that they all overlap with one another. Classes will fulfill the requirements for multiple majors and minors. Geology doesn\u2019t overlap with either of my potential minors. I can only pick one or the other.<\/span><\/p>\n

So now I\u2019m stuck. Do I opt for something I\u2019m passionate in or something I\u2019m interested in? Or do I toss everything out the window and pursue my lifelong dream to be a professional puppy cuddler? Decisions, decisions.<\/span><\/p>\n

I really should go to sleep. None of this worrying will matter if I don\u2019t do well on my finals.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
