<p>okay, i’m rethinking this econ thing. it sounds like something i can do, but it would’ve sounded nicer 1 or 2 years ago. i think it’s pretty interesting, but when i really get to thinking what i want most out of life, it all boils down to one thing. i know i really want it, but it seems more like just a dream, but i keep coming back to it. i really wanted to be a novelist/screenwriter, etc. and even though econ can’t be that bad, i see the major as just a prep for everyday life, like philosophy… but probably not something i want to do after i graduate. i chose english because i thought it could help me with novel writing, but the classes never felt right to me. people in the classes seem to take them too lightly, and i just never felt like i belong there. but i doubt majoring in english automatically means i get published. but the thing is, even if i major in english, i don’t really want to work in that common area either, ie journalism, advertising, newspapers, etc. i just like stories and want to write them down. but does this sound more like a hobby? honestly, i don’t think i want to do anything the majors in college lead to. i think i just wanted to gain “life skills” by going. but well, realistically speaking, econ is not a bad major to fall back on, i guess.</p>
