<p>I think my “problems” have been resolved for now. I decided to double major starting next Fall. I will specialize more in grad school.</p>
<p>For other students/future college students I think my main mistakes were:
Assuming that pursuing Junior HS/HS passion in college will automatically lead to an awesome job. I think this can happen but I should have been more open to other things too.
Thinking that my studies and later my job could be a sufficient source of happiness by themselves.
Spending every school breaks (including summer) on-campus to do research, study and work.
Not doing anything that won’t make my resume look better or in a way or another help me get into grad school.
Entering college with such a high opinion of myself and my work.</p>
<p>I remember now that my interviewer, a sucessful and very happy person had told me that if I were to be accepted, I should try taking 1 class/semester out of 5 just for fun/the sake of learning. I think he was right, though at the time it seemed like a waste of time.</p>
<p>Anyway, thanks a lot. I’m glad this happened now than later.</p>
