@Oyama
thanks for the course recommendation. ill probably do that this upcoming quarter.

tbh, im not sure what im good at. the only thing ive always done well in is english class/english-type classes. but, that’s not a subject i particularly enjoy (although getting good grades in those subjects were definitely morale-boosters).

im always fascinated by science and technology and then again things like business and stocks–but the thing is, i dont know if i would do well studying them. i dont know if i would enjoy being immersed in that sort of stuff or if it is just that i just enjoy hearing about how other people succeed in those fields.

that also contributes to my confusion and instability in what i want or should do as far as my major goes.

but, really, thank you for your very good replies. theyre really helpful.

@Stigmata7
i know! that irritates me more. i can do the ARIS hw for the chem6 series with little reference to the book, but idk what’s up with me and the finals/midterms. especially since it “should” be the most simple.

thanks for the insight to those cogs courses. ill definitely get into doing those.

yes, i think as well that i should look into other majors too.
when i took AP Psychology, it kind of covered many related subjects as well (briefly). and what had intrigued me most was the parts about the brain…but i actually enjoyed all of the other topics too.

ah, im just in a confused state right now. indecisive and such.

thank you for your replies, they are very helpful.
