<p>So when I entered college, I was pretty naive and thought excercise physiology might be an interesting subject to major. I attempted to manage my commute to college along with a full-time job and intense science courses. This had disastrous effect on my performance in class, especially because I had not recovered from being lazy in my last semester in High School. This pretty much ruined my academic record for the first semester. I soon contemplated dropping out of school. My family situation has always been pretty severe and unstable. Finances have always been a matter of uncertainty. I'm sure many can relate to this.</p>
<p>I switched majors after my 1st semester and before my fifth semester, I declared myself as double major in History and Political Science. </p>
