Rec | FEELING LOST IN COLLEGE

💭

I have been pondering for a while now if i should change my major. I’m an accounting student and for starters I only took this course because the course i wanted wasn’t available in the college where i enrolled. In addition to that i transferred to another university where the tuition fee is free. I originally wanted to take a psychology course but now I am very interested in a mass communication degree as it involves a few studies regarding film and television. I am writing this while in my taxation class which im not very interested in. I just wanted to express myself somewhere as it is hard to tell my parents I want to shift courses when I am already 3 years deep in it 1 more year and I will graduate and if I choose to actually shift courses that is if im brave enough my parents will have to pay my tuition because the colleges that offer a communication degree that are close to me are mostly private and expensive and I dont wanna keep being a burden to them. I just wanted to write this down or tell someone this i guess in hopes of lessening my confusion and indecisiveness.

Change your major or look for a way out in graf school. I stayed in a program I didn’t like nor care about any of the classes for 3 years because I thought I could force myself to like it eventually and the high-paying career that came along with it. I never did end up liking it and am now in a Grad Program for something I do like. I do wish in hindsight I wish I would have followed through with switching my major. Your discontent is at least worth a conversation with an advisor/ your parents about your options.

kind of? not really?

i loved & miss university, it really helped me figure out some things i was passionate about, have some cool experiences & learn a lot about myself, plus i just love learning and being in school in general (i always say if i was rich enough to not work i'd spend all my money getting degrees for fun), but that being said.... i no longer work in said field nor do i have any interest to at all lol i feel like if you're going to go to college you need to be sure of your field and the possibilities that come from it, or at the very least, go into something broadly applicable and then do as many things as you can (related clubs, volunteering, competitions, whatever) that allow you to explore the field while there. i got a broad degree (comms) but then made the mistake of not exploring enough avenues while in school and wound up locked into one that i didn't like post-grad. tried to leverage my degree to break into fields i'd enjoy more, but with my focused background, it's unfortunately not enough.

Think back to why you started your major

Is there a way you can put your major to use to fulfill that ideal? If not, move on! I have a degree in psychology and have worked as a marketing consultant and now a graphic designer.

Talk to random strangers

Going for a little walk and maybe meet some people on the way to a cafe try to initiate small talk even if you feel like they’re gonna be a bore, most of the time you’ll actually enjoy it. Just talking in general it’s actually so fun to just talk to people.

Every social media app should be like this one

Day 2 of being on this app and it feels refreshing. Real people asking real questions responding with genuine answers and the most awesome part no ai like wow. I could just delete all other social media apps and be here.

I will throw my cellular device in the water just like lorde said

I long for when phones were only used for texting/calling. We need to bring back phones where you can’t play videos or even see pictures like. Personally we as a society need to go back to old technology. These smart phones are killing us slowly and we are enjoying it unfortunately.
