So I am in a bit of a dilemma. I went to FSU for my freshman year not knowing what I wanted to major. Initially, I wanted to attend a local community college so that 1) I get rid of my remaining gen ed courses as I took and passed many AP exams 2) save money as I would live near my home and the classes are cheaper and 3) It would give me more time to research what I wanted to major in. However, when I told my family members about this choice, they were disappointed (mother cried and called me selfish for abandoning all of our hard work to get into a good university while my older brother and father said to go to fsu and take out the needed loans even after weeks of talking to them about this issue).
So I attended in hopes of pursuing a biology degree.
However, over the course of my being here, a hurricane caused a three day power outage, my dog died (cried for months), and most of the people I know were into partying and drugs which was something I dd not want to be apart of. In addition to that, I became severely depressed as I did not know what I would do after graduating college but knew that I would be severely in debt.
After time of persuading, my parents finally agreed to me attending the local CC. However, this leaves me very angry at them, especially at myself, for listening to them as I am now in $5,600 in debt for classes that would have been free at a CC, for missing the final moments I could have had with my dog, and missing out on my teenage years of socializing and working for my own money (as they told me to focus on my studies).
Anyway, all this was me venting.
I think I want to major in nursing as I have much experience during my enrollment in the PBGHS Pre-Med Magnet and was the only thing I was interested in. My question is, by making all these changes, will it affect me in the long-run when I pursue my degree in nursing (I’m talking about acceptance to nursing programs, year of graduation, and student loan wise). By the way, I will have 51 credits that were meant for a Bio degree when I leave FSU.
