Undecided and Mad about it!!

so I have ONE month til i have to finally declare a major (i'm trying to transfer so it's for application purposes.)

One thing about me, I can tell you what I don't want/like:

Science
History (barf)
English (unless it's creative writing-but the reading part, no)
Math

So, with that in mind, there's not much left over. I thought about languages, because I love learning them and their cultures, but I don't have the prereq's. And I don't want to analyze literature in that language, you know? I Love learning them, but not for the sake of reading documents.

I'm rebellious, but a good student if i have to be (aka 3.5gpa+ in college). So, I don't know what to do!

Any thoughts? Thanks

You need to come up of a list of what you do like. Also, the colleges you are looking to apply to will have a list of majors. Check them out and see what interests you.

ok---
(and please don't laugh)
i'm only getting a degree in the case that what i *really* want to do doesn't work out, which is singing. Sounds funny, I know, but I think it's a good idea to have SOME bakcup, but it's really hard because all I really want to be doing is trying to network and write songs and stuff, but I have to do .. college haha.
Any advice!? (yeah I tried out the music major scene for a semester and it was insanely stressful and not what I thougth it was going to be like. Too institutionalized.)

Math and science lead to plenty of well paying jobs. How about going toward engineering?
