I need help with my major

<p>Approaching senior year, it seems like everyone is already set on what they want to do and I don't want to be that person that goes in undecided.</p>

<p>-I'm good at math/chemistry (I'm taking both at an advanced level-honors math and AP chem)
-Not a fan of history
-I'm fluent in English and working my way up in Spanish (Trying to take AP Spanish 5 because I have 100% in Spanish 3 now)
-I hope to travel to many different countries
-My passion is playing the piano and having a musical mindset whether it be learning a new song, writing a new song, or writing lyrics to express emotion.
-I get really into watching football and the whole process of the offeason (which includes watching the draft, ESPN, and looking for new signings in free agency period, haha)
-I'm kind of a techy person (I'm really fascinated with high tech things including stuff on thinkgeek.com lol or just learning how things function (whether it be how the joints and muscles work together or how the engine in an electric vehicle runs the car))</p>

<p>Thanks, I really appreciate you all checking my list and hopefully helping me. I don't want to be the person that hates their career.</p>

<p>Don’t stress about it now. When you get to college, go in as an undeclared students and sample classes in your interest areas: take some math, chem, maybe an introductory class in international relations, a spanish class, a music class, a computer science class, etc. You need to find out what you enjoy studying at the college level, and the best way to do that is to experience subjects at college. You have all the time in the world to figure out what you want to study.</p>

<p>Saw these posts and had a similar question regarding my daughter. What’s the best way to choose a school, when one’s interests range the gamut? She’s convinced she wants to study archeology and anthropology, but at various times considered vet. medicine, journalism, law, teaching, and music. (plays great classical piano). Very bright in the math/sciences as well as English/art. Her three top choices for schools are William and Mary, Washington and Lee, and George Washington. Would love to hear from both parents and students who attend these institutions about the ease/difficulty of switching majors, dual majors, major/minors, as well as the “climate” and “feel” of the schools. I’ve looked at some of the postings about Washington and Lee, and opinions seem to be strong on both sides. (the Greek life and drinking are a concern). Any advice or experiences to share? Thank you!</p>

<p>Don’t worry about being “that person that goes in undecided.” You will not be the only person that goes in undecided. There are schools where freshmen aren’t even allowed to declare a major. Really, don’t worry about. Take your freshmen year to explore your options and see what you’re interested in. You have plenty of time!</p>

<p>And zorrocat, you’d probably be better off starting your own thread rather than asking your question in this one.</p>

<p>Thanks agc and hj0, do you have any idea of what I could be based on my interests?</p>

<p>A lot of people who go in that say they “know” what they want to do end up changing their minds later. When I was a senior in high school, I though I knew exactly what I wanted to do. Then, I got to college, started taking the classes, and realized I hated it. </p>

<p>I agree with acj, take a wide variety of intro classes and figure out what you like. Some people change their majors multiple times while in college, so don’t stress about it. If you don’t want to say “I don’t know” whenver someone asks you what you are majoring in, just saying that you are considering whatever subjects you are most interested in at the time. Don’t feel like you have to “know” right now because everyone else does. Most of them will probably change their minds anyway.</p>

<p>@remy, how should I decide which college I want to attend without having the luxury of visiting them?</p>

<p>I don’t know why, but for some reason I think you’d like statistics.</p>
