<p>It seems like a really tough decision...</p>
<p>When I found what I liked doing, and realized that it is awesome.</p>
<p>I think this is a better question for the College Life or Parents subforums, since most high schoolers haven’t really decided even if we think we have ;)</p>
<p>The end of my junior year, when I failed chemistry which meant I couldn’t get into the programs to be either a pharmacist or a psychiatrist. I’ve always loved history and to be honest, it seems like the most natural choice for me.</p>
<p>Midway through Junya year, I think.
I just don’t like anything else all that much. Except maybe chemistry, but everyone at my school likes chem because we have a beast teacher. Then, they learn chem from someone else and realize that they loved Mr. Laser, not the subject.</p>
<p>Well, I was always great at Math, and could see things my teachers couldn’t see, and I love the subject so much I’m going to major in Math. </p>
<p>I knew I wanted to major in computer science since age 8.</p>
<p>I want to double major, then I often like the ideal of double major and minor, etc…
I would like to study economics and political science.</p>
<p>I’m pretty certain I wanted to major in biochem and economics since beginning of junior year or late sophomore year. But i have an inkling that i might change them during college…</p>
<p>Actuarial Science - Love Math!! was logging into my email sophomore year and yahoo news had something like “best jobs of all time” “tops jobs of the decade” one of those type of things they always have. I was bored and clicked on it and read the description of an actuary. Fell in love with the career instantly</p>
<p>Decided this school year that I will major in physics</p>
<p>I realized I loved chemistry last year when I took physics. (worst subject ever) I found it incredibly boring and learned to appreciate chemistry a lot more.</p>
<p>Hmm well that’s funny HBrownbecause after taking Chem this year, I realized how boring it is (worst subject ever) and how there are much more interesting advancements being made in the physics field. :-)</p>
<p>Well, I answered this earlier but here goes:</p>
<p>I choose engineering because I suck at every other subject besides math and physics. </p>
<p>I mean, I’m okay at everything, spanish is easy but probably shouldn’t count, same as english. I hate history, chemistry, bio…meh. I don’t like writing really. Debate I was good at but boring. I like theater, I like plays, considered being a stunt coordinator or stage manager of some kind (didn’t know what major to do for that career). Then I built a robot and it was like love~ So I plan to do that and not suck.</p>
<p>Also, I’m good at drawing, but I’m not passionate and I lack imagination. I think I’d be good at drawing comics if I had a writer telling me more or less what to draw. Bad side is that I don’t like art students.</p>
<p>@puggly: To each his own. :)</p>
<p>Your like my friend. He wants to be an engineer and loves physics but hates chemistry. Oh well.</p>
<p>lol wow. My chem teacher told me he chose chem because physics didn’t have enough applications.</p>
<p>If I could Quad Major in Math, Comp Sci, Chem, Physics, I would do so. But that’s overdoing it.</p>
<p>I am graduating two BAs (no, NOT a double major). I will break them down as such. </p>
<p>First BA: Arts, Humanities, and Civic Engagement. Minor in Spanish.
The major is the major that is attached to my residential college: Residential College in the Arts and Humanities. I fell in love with the RC and instantly decided that that was what I wanted to do. It integrated arts, humanities, world history, culture, civic engagement, languages, etc. Every single thing that I am passionate about. </p>
<p>Minor: Spanish is just incredibly useful. I think it is incredibly stupid NOT to be at least proficient in another language. I also want to work with immigrant children, so this seems the most practical. </p>
<p>Second BA: Anthropology. Minor in Religious Studies.
The major: I have been intensely interested in anthropology my entire life. It ties in rather nicely with my passions of culture and world history. I think that ancient human civilizations are incredibly interesting and I am NOT a fan of modern anthropology. I want to work to change our preconceived notions of what ancient people were like. </p>
<p>Minor: I think religious studies are incredibly interesting and are a great insight into various cultures of the world. Many, MANY places do not separate culture and religion like we do here in America and it is impossible to understand one without the other in most places. Therefore, I think it is a nice compliment to anthropology.</p>
<p>bumb…</p>
<p>I will be majoring in Journalism with a minor in something that I am currently unsure of.</p>
<p>It’s not so much that I one day woke up and thought “Hey, I’m going to major in journalism!” My mother definitely fostered in me a love of reading from a very young age, which led me to read anything and everything with printed words, from cereal boxes to Cosmo magazines (at the age of 6, hahah). In 5th-6th grade I realized that I loved writing as much as I did reading, and people told me that I had a knack for it and I should keep on writing. So I did. </p>
<p>All I need is a pen and a blank notebook and I’ll be entertained for hours. My ceaseless curiosity, outspoken personality, and love of writing all seamlessly fuse together to make journalism the perfect career choice for me.</p>
<p>It’s come to the point where if someone complains about writing an essay for a class, I’ll volunteer to do it for them. That’s how much I love to write. :)</p>
<p>Well I’ve always loved math and physics (Chemistry and Biology too, but not to the same degree). In 7th grade I decided I wanted to do Course VI at MIT, and that turned in to Electrical Engineering and Computer Science because my interest in quantum computing and programming/algorithms.</p>
<p>So, most of it developed because of my interest in math and science though. I intend to do EECS and minor in physics and math.</p>
<p>I knew I wanted to major in computer science 3 or 4 (maybe 5) years ago. I knew I wanted to minor in linguistics 2 years ago. I knew I wanted to consider majoring/minoring/double-majoring in math a year ago.</p>
<p>I’m glad I know what I want to major in :)</p>
