College, College, College...

Possibly the biggest decision I'll have to make in my life, atleast up until this point... What to major!! It's funny how life creeps up on you. My entire life I have molded my education to fit a major in the Computer Engineering industry. I have taken magnet and academic classes in computer technology/networking, was president of computer club for 2 years, even won 1st place in regional competitions for computer maintenance. Yet, senior year strikes and here I am, questioning my major in utter bliss. I think about how bad I am at math, (and I mean, baaaad... 2+2=what?)and how although I love computers, I hate the networking aspect of it- and although I love technology in general, theres little niche's that I just don't like having to deal with. Its a questionable major.. I've also thought about Psychology, then again I wouldn't half-ass it, so I would go all the way and get a PhD. But by the time I graduate, I'd be 30! Fashion Design would be amazing, but its hard to make it big and I hate pinching myself with needles. I also thought about a Business major, but every time I see money hungry men in suits talking about their latest investments and numerical statistics in products they care nothing about as long as they sell- makes me sick. I even considered LAW at one point, because I know I would be great at winning cases, but I would hate to have such a black/white lifestyle that doesn't feed my inner creative kid. SO! I'm strongly considering Journalism and Mass Communication. I love writing, and I would be able to mold my major towards a particular category over time and write about any one of my passions. Choosing a major is like a forced introspection of oneself. You really have to dig deep into your habits and likings from when you were a small child up until now, and analyze the balance between what makes you happy and what you're good at. It's really not as easy as it sounds! I just know that whatever I decide to major in, I'm going to be a beast at. :)
