Calling all freshman and/or other college students who've recently switched majors + anyone else who wants to read what's been going on in my life lately.. first, this is going to kinda be like a diary entry, so if you want to be nosy (just kidding, obviously I'm sharing this with the world), read on! I really like my major (now). Way more than my previous one. And I'm really glad I switched. But I didn't think so at first. Never assume a class you're in is going to be boring or you won't like it, because chances are you haven't even given it a chance. (Life lesson learned!) Today will be the third time I've gone to my T/R (Tuesday/Thursday) classes, and tomorrow will be the fifth time I've gone to my M/W/F (Monday/Wednesday/Friday) classes. I think that after about a week of classes you can decide for yourself what classes interest you the most, if you like your major and what your goals are for the semester/year.
I've been looking forward to Fall 2015 since about March of this year. About 95% of it had to do with the fact that I was switching majors. I liked various aspects of my previous major, but I really think that my new major, Marketing, will be so much more useful for the career I want to pursue (which to be honest, I still have no idea what I want to do). I'm looking forward to all the opportunities/possibilities that a degree in marketing will open up for me in the future. I think that a degree in this field will be much more applicable (for me) than a communication degree would have been.
I decided to jump right into my new major in the College of Business and take 3 business classes -- marketing, accounting, and economics. Those classes cover a variety of important topics in the business world. They're all so different, but each of them relate in some way or another and are also required classes for my degree. The first day of class, I went in with a positive mindset, but came out a little discouraged. I had no idea what these classes would be like, so when I finished my first day as a business major, I was feeling a little confused. Accounting and economics weren't anything like what I was expecting. After the first day, I thought I wouldn't like accounting or economics, but those are actually two of the most interesting classes I'm taking this semester, and I'm learning a lot.
Of course, since I switched my major to business, everything I'm learning is brand new to me, but I'm embracing it all and I haven't looked back. I thought I had problems with my major, and I guess last year I did, but this year, my major solved (almost) all my problems, and I'm so thankful for all I've learned that has helped me get to the place where I am now. So far I'm loving this semester, and I'm really excited to see where the rest of this semester and sophomore year takes me.
To help me not stress and freak out over my new major, what I need to do to in order to succeed is stay organized and keep up with my assignments. I'm trying to plan out my schedule, use my agenda more, blog a little (I'm probably not going to devote as much time to this blog as I want..), try to have more of a social life than I did last year (working on my goal to not watch as much Netflix and so far that's going well!), and of course, study more + earn good grades! Wish me luck! :)
What's the point of college if you don't take a study break to eat Brownie Batter Oreos? They absolutely live up to the hype! SO good!
Have a great Thursday!
Check back tomorrow for Friday Favorites :)
