<p>I am currently a Junior at a decent state university in my home state. Over the past few years I have been extremely stressed out about choosing my major and it has actually caused me to be somewhat depressed. Every time I start thinking about whether or not my major is right for me, I begin over thinking it and second guessing myself. But, anyways I have to give some background to my whole situation. </p>
<p>After high school I went to community college and took classes going towards a business major because I had no idea what I wanted to do and that is what my mom recommended. The classes were boring except a ceramics class I took, but obviously that is going to be fun. Following that semester I really wanted to go to a university that my girlfriend was going to, mainly because she was going there, so I tried to convince my mom to let me go. Despite the fact that we didnt have the money for it, I eventually convinced my mom. So basically I went to the college for all the wrong reasons, I still had no idea what I wanted to do and only wanted to go because my girlfriend was there. I continued studying business and hated every single class I took for it. It was all so boring because it was just terms terms terms, no practical aspect to it. Accounting, economics, and information systems were all terribly boring. But, I stuck with it got a 3.0 and continued the agony next semester. Still hated it. Hated it so much that I had to switch. My second semester of my sophomore year I switched to History Secondary Education. I liked it a lot more than business, but I found that being a teacher was something you had to really be passionate in and I could tell it was something I did not have that much passion for. And I also realized that I didn’t like history as much as I thought I did. So that leaves me with the semester I am at now. I tried taking some Geography classes to see if I could pursue a geography field and I like them, but I don’t know if something I would want to major in. My hobbies include sports and music. I love playing sports and I could see myself as a Phys-Ed teacher, but I think that is a dead end decision for a major. I also love music and am a good singer (performed at many restaurants) and I was debating doing music technology, but that is a 4 year degree so I would not be able to finish on time. I like so many bits and pieces of things, but I don’t like one thing enough to declare it as a major, which is what is making this decision so difficult. And I don’t want to waste any more money taking 200 level courses that are not going towards a declared major. I have been debating going to community college next semester and taking random classes to figure out what I want to major in, but I am on a 12 month lease that ends this summer so I don’t know if thats possible. I could try subleasing it, but would it be worth it to do that? Also, I am taking out student loans so I want to finish school as soon as possible and start paying them off. I have even been debating going into the Navy reserves because at least there I will have a life plan and goals. I feel like I have no direction. Picking a major is stressing me out so much and causing me to not enjoy my college experience. </p>
<p>So to sum it up:</p>
