Need help deciding on a major!

I’ve looked into Economics as a major and am starting to take quite an interest in it! I’m not so keen on how much math it seems to require, but I’m pretty good at Stats (am not taking AP Calculus in HS, not sure how much that would affect me). Is it really math intensive? I’m more interested in the social science aspect of it, if that makes sense…

Any advice on that?

Also, if I do choose to major in Econ instead now, wouldn’t that defeat the purpose of one of my personal statements that explained my aspiration of wanting to become an editor and work in the field of journalism? Would colleges think I don’t know what I want?
