I failed at committing to a major this semester. During drop/add week I had to choose a major and fully knew that not choosing one would leave me in a state of indecision for the rest of the semester. That is exactly what happened. This happens a lot.
I guess I learned, for the thousandth time, how important trusting yourself is. The important of this was reiterated to me for sure. I think I’ve gotten too good at accepting failure. I’m very okay with it but don’t think I’m as motivated as I used to be about going forward.
Hi Emily,
ReplyDeleteIt is hard to commit to a major! I don't know what year you are, but hopefully you have some more time to figure all of that out. It is really not worth the regret, guilt, and anxiety that comes along with procrastinating something you know you should have done. Take it from someone whose actual nickname is 'Mocrastinator'. I may not always practice what I preach, but I know personally how annoying it is when you don't do something you know you should have done, and there are consequences to suffer. Try to think of these feelings next time you're in a similar situation. You'll be much happier in the end!

I know personally that I've had similar problems with choosing a major. I was so bent on trying to major in something different from everyone else I knew at the time, and didn't want to have anything boring. Being someone who's horrible at math, trying to go for an engineering major wasn't my best decision. I wish I had started off as an undecided major so that I could've experimented more with my interests early on. http://triedfortime.blogspot.com/2016/04/celebrating-failure-lot.html
ReplyDeleteHi Emily!
ReplyDeleteI totally get you, it is hard to commit to a major! but hopefully you have plenty of time to think about what you really like. Just think about how you see yourself in 5-10 years? Think about what is it that you are passionate about and go from there. Here is the link to my own post http://cabuawad.blogspot.com/2016/04/celebrating-failure.html
