Take a variety of classes freshman year. I had no clue what to major in when I first started college. I ended up going in as an undecided biology major, so the first semester I took bio, chem, and calculus for that. I enjoyed the bio but I really had no interest in the others….so the 2nd semester I took a variety of classes…history, psych, english, economics.

I still had no idea what to do after the first yr!!!…I ended up taking a sociology course the next fall….I really enjoyed it and ended up majoring in sociology. I was able to take a variety of courses that had to do with healthcare which I enjoyed. In addition…I took a bunch of electives dealing with child psych and abnormal psych…all which were interesting.

Basically, the majority of students entering college have no idea what they want to do!! And many of them will choose a major and later go onto a career that has nothing to do with it. College is one of the best experiences you will have….just go in open-minded and take as many different classes as you can…you are bound to come upon something that really sparks an interest!!! Have fun and good luck!!!

I’m in the same boat you are. My interests are wide-ranging, and now that I’ll be starting college in August, I don’t know what path to choose either. You’re absolutely right when it comes to “all the choices there are.” But that’s the beauty of college. Take courses that you have interest in, but don’t limit yourself. I’m sure that by the time you must declare a major you will have had an inspiring professor or class that will help you decide.

But remember, college isn’t about narrowing your path to one choice. Yes, you must declare a major, but college is all about learning! If I could, I’d be a professional student and attend many years of college because there isn’t enough time in four years to learn everything I want to know!

Vary your courses. Do lots of things that interest you. You’ll find your way.

understand that premed won’t be a important….maximum persons do certainly no longer get to med college, so get a level in something so you might use once you don’t get universal……in case you probably did poorly at Algebra, there is no longer a lot of wish for you, med college demands an excellent reminiscence and perseverance at issues that are tedious and uninteresting. Your GPA in HS doens’t matterif you have already been universal. probability is, your GPA in college heavily isn’t that super because of the fact extreme faculties at present do no longer prepare young ones for larger getting to grasp. approximately 40% of faculty young ones ought to take remedial instructions to be waiting to qualify for a school course. assume to do poorly till you a thank you to benefit. remember that college professors do no longer care in case you probably did no longer do your paintings, they only fail you. this is no longer HS. no person cares why you probably did no longer get it carried out!working your first 3 hundred and sixty 5 days is a mistake and socializing is a waste. Be friendly yet comprehend that the finished destiny is using on what you do in college. All evening partying could sound relaxing and super on the time, even though it is going to value you once you at the instant are not arranged for sophistication. maximum infants at the instant are not mature sufficient to assert “no” to acquaintances, so which you will possibly be out all evening partying and pass over some checks right here and there and blow some grades. economic help is designed for persons to bypass way into debt getting a level that doesn’t pay properly and be caught with 50,000 of debt making 25,000 a three hundred and sixty 5 days. do no longer do it….get scholarships, do paintings learn, do no longer run up expenditures you is honestly no longer waiting to pay. there are various communities on campus to connect, no ought to start your person. there are various roles that pay extra advantageous than those with college ranges, a application for a vocation may be extra suitable for you. It expenses much less and you initiate getting money directly.

Don’t declare a major until you have to and concentrate on getting your G.E. requirements out of the way. This will buy you some time to decide.
