<p>I like both equally, so I don't know what to major in. I feel like I have to pick one or the other.</p>
<p>Kind of. I really love humanities but I suck at them. On the other hand, I’m incredible with sciences and math, but I just find them so dull.</p>
<p>You can do a double major. For example, if you are interested in medicine, you can double major in chemistry and psychology.</p>
<p>My compromise was to major in neuroscience - incorporating biology and psychology. As I’ve progressed I’ve gone more down the science-y direction. I still get to quite a bit of writing for my field, but it’s mostly scientific stuff. I considered minoring in creative writing, but opted for computer science because I figured those skills would be more relevant to my career and harder to learn on my own.
But I still continue with humanities stuff outside of coursework - I’m involved in multiple bands on campus, often work on my own art projects, and am currently working on a novel.
For me, I discovered that the balance for my interests was to choose one as a hobby and one as a career. It wasn’t an explicit choice, but that’s how things started to fall into place for me naturally once I was at college.</p>

<p>I was thinking of doing something like that! I really liked AP Psychology so I was thinking of majoring in bio or psych and concentrating in neuroscience and taking some creative writing/dance classes on the side.</p>
<p>My favorite subjects are English, biology, and psychology by the way.</p>

<p>That’s very interesting. I would say I have more natural talent in the humanities. Science I usually have to study more for but I like learning how things work.</p>
<p>I think I definitely want to major in math, but I’m not interested in any other “science” fields. I’m taking several math classes at a local university, and a lot of the math majors there are primarily interested in how math can be applied to physics or engineering or whatever. But applied problems bore me, and I’m not good at science/computers anyway. </p>
<p>I used to think I would really like philosophy (on the basis of books I’d read and stuff), but I’m taking an ethics class this semester and it’s boring at times. I hope it’s just that I don’t like (the study of) ethics. It’s difficult to be “the smart person” in a philosophy class because a lot of things are debatable. What does it mean to be good at humanities?</p>
<p>I’m the same way! I love chemistry, German, and government. But I really enjoy all of the subjects, to be honest.</p>
<p>Not me. I’ve always, always been a humanities person.</p>
<p>Nope, science is my baby. I’m not the best at it, but humanities are sooo boring.</p>
<p>Just as @sweetcupcake12 has said - I too have always, always been a humanities person. I love politics, history, sociology, etc. so much more than Biology, Chem, etc.</p>
<p>Me! I am very good at Humanities courses, but most of them bore me. On the other hand, I struggle with science but find it really interesting.</p>
<p>I’m torn on what to major in - what I enjoy, or what I’d be good at. I know the advice is do what you love, but I don’t know if I’ll love science-y stuff when it gets more difficult. I don’t handle adversity well, haha. But the science-y stuff makes more money and I’m materialistic…</p>
<p>YES. But in my case humanities means music(specifically, piano). I would NEVER do literature/visual art/history for a living(and not just because job prospects arent good).
I also really love math(science too, but math a lot more). What I wanted to do was major in math(or something practical related to it), and minor in music(so I can still enjoy myself during college). IDK if it’ll work, though.</p>
<p>I like both, but only certain parts. I LOVE Chem, Physics and PURE Math (not applied math). But I hate Bio. I also love languages and reading/writing, but I hate History.</p>
<p>Nope, I suck at Humanities.</p>
<p>Bump. I’m curious what other people have to say.</p>
<p>Humanities will always be my first love and probably my strongest area. I can hold my own in math and science but it doesn’t come as naturally as say history and to me it’s a lot less interesting.
My parents don’t understand that some people have a natural affinity for certain things unfortunately so they’re pushing for the science route, med school preferably. I’ll try to compromise with something like a double major in pyschology and neuroscience like a poster above, I don’t know who, mentioned.</p>
<p>I absolutely love humanities. Which is why I’m currently torn between wanting to major in a computer related field or something leaning more toward the humanities. </p>
<p>I’m currently a senior so I feel pressured to decide.</p>
