Where do you see yourself in a couple of months?  For some seniors, this is a very hard question, while for others it is a piece of cake. Some seniors know where they are going and what they want to do when they graduate, and they have known  since last year.

For some seniors, including me, choosing a college and picking an interest or major is very difficult because there are so many majors that interest us, so deciding on a major is extremely difficult.

The truth is, even in high school, we tend to pick up skills in math and biology  as we go through our high school experience. In our school, it is very hard to pick something to focus on when you have several different types of programs that interest you. When people go through biology, they think they want to become scientists and, when they go to food trends, they think they can be a chef. Of course, these high school choices are not as serious or important as making a college-major choice, but it starts the process of indecisiveness for many.

After making it through high school and making choices, one can hope that choosing a college major is a little easier. However, essentially  choosing a career to study at such an early stage of your life is difficult because many believe you can’t change your major. Once you get to college, most students have to go through two years of core pre-requisites in order to get into the core-major classes. This experience with prerequisite courses provides an opportunity  to experience different courses that you wouldn’t have taken if they weren’t requirements, along with their workloads, which should help you decide if those areas of study might be  is good for you. If you are a biology major and you take a course that covers the principles of biology and don’t like it, then that major is not for you. The point is that people believe making a choice of a college major immediately is the best option but, when you are an indecisive person just like half of all seniors,  then it’s hard to pick what you want to do and harder when people like parents force you to pick.

Senior year is tough if you have not gotten yourself together. It can be made easier  if you have everything set and done before deadlines or due dates. If you can avoid or eliminate  the pressure from others about college and not worry too much about what you will study unless you really know, then you should be able to make it.
