<p>I’m going to be doing a lot of stuff when in college (Music and acting wise) so I don’t want a major that will keep me busy all the time. I’m good at acting, directing and I guess creating advertisements on tv (but I think you have to major in Graphic design for that and that doesn’t appeal to me).</p>
<p>Is Theatre an easy major? do you have a lot of free time?</p>
<p>Women’s Studies.</p>
<p>You really shouldn’t choose a major because it’s easy.</p>
<p>Your major (and subsequently your degree) prepares you for your career. If you just choose a major because it’s easy, what are you going to do with your life? Sit at home or at a job you hate and say, “Gee, well at least I had time to do those extracurriculars.”</p>
<p>Extracurriculars are amazing, but they are extra. They supplement your studies. I know it sucks to give up an activity you love to take a class, but if that class will lead to a career you love, won’t it be worth it in the end?</p>
<p>Nothing in your life comes without hard work, and even if you choose the “easiest major,” you’ll have to sacrifice something.</p>
<p>What are you going to college for? If you’re just looking for an “easy major” so you can do extracurriculars, then why bother with college in the first place? Just get a job and do your extracurriculars, and don’t waste the money. College isn’t for everyone.</p>
<p>If you’re attending college anyways, the STUDY SOMETHING YOU ENJOY. It won’t feel like work if you love learning about it. Major in music or theater if you’re into that stuff. Whatever you do, don’t do anything because it’s easy or it makes the money. Do something you love. Looking for the “easiest major” is ridiculous.</p>
<p>Thank you guys. The majors I like are not hard.
But I will be in a band and I’ve been writing songs since I was little… These are all my main goals in life and only possible when I’ll be in NY for college (I’m foreign).
I will also audition for acting every week… What if I actually make it to a tv show or movie, my college work would go down I suppose since I will work for that. </p>
<p>My parents are both doctors and I can’t imagine not going to college because It is college. And I want to because It is always good for education.</p>
<p>I can do theatre major but I’m afraid of the time I won’t have for ext. act.
I love acting and directing and writing… I’m more into those. And I don’t think they are as hard as Science or Maths.</p>
<p>Does a theatre major include some writing and directing as well?</p>
<p>I’m not familiar with the theatre major, but try asking in this forum: [Theater/Drama</a> Majors - College Confidential](<a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/theater-drama-majors/]Theater/Drama”>Theater/Drama Majors - College Confidential Forums)</p>
<p>Have you started researching colleges? Even if most colleges do offer the courses you’re looking for, some colleges might not. If you haven’t started researching colleges yet, start at collegeboard.org. You can narrow down schools based on pretty much any criteria you can think of.</p>
<p>After you have your list of colleges, go to the individual college websites. A lot of colleges describe their majors and list all of their courses related to their majors. This is where you can find more information on the courses you would want to take.</p>
<p>After that, you can come back to CollegeConfidential if you have more questions.</p>
<p>College P r o w l e r is another good website. You can’t ask individual questions, but there are reviews and testimonials from real students.</p>
<p>If you have any questions that can’t be answered on the Internet, you can email the person in charge of the theatre department at the school you’re interested in. Don’t ask obvious questions–that makes you seem like a kiss-up and like you haven’t done your research. Ask intelligent questions. This not only gets you the information you want, but it also demonstrates sincere interest.</p>
<p>As for you having time for your outside projects, you can always go to college part-time if you can afford that. You can also take your general courses (courses not related to your major, like math, science, English, history) over the summer or online if your school offers it.</p>
<p>The great thing about college is that you make your own schedule. Your advisor(s) will most likely suggest you take certain courses at certain times to graduate in four years, but if you can afford to attend college for more than four years, you can always not take very many classes at once.</p>
