creative writing or literature?

College Majors
1

<p>pros for creative writing:
fun
get good feedback
easy for me
might help me in the long run (novel writing, story writing, etc.) </p>

<p>cons:
can be hard too
not very structured
not too used to the creative writing style
some classes are held at night
i don't really like poetry, and will have to take 2 poetry classes (but poetry really does get my creative juices flowing)
haven't been creative for a while. might be a little harder to get back on track</p>

<p>pros for literature:
used to the essay and writing style
like reading the texts
less requirements than CW
seminars can be kind of fun sometimes
taken these kind of classes more than CW</p>

<p>cons:
will have to deal with romanticism, modernism, etc.
hate reading some of the texts
had a nightmare about taking these classes! </p>

<p>actually, i'm still open to other majors. but i'm still trying to decide between the two.</p>

<p>Why don't you take a few classes in each and then see which one you like more?</p>

<p>i'm already a junior. don't have too much time for that. wasted my previous quarters trying something else. :/ </p>

<p>i only took 1 philosophy class, but i kind of want to take more. except i need to finish my major. don't know what to do... :( </p>

<p>and i have taken both CW and lit classes before. i don't know why, but every time i sign up for english classes, i have a bad feeling about taking it. except i get pretty good grades in english classes, and i would like it depending on the teacher, so i don't know what to doooo....</p>
