What is important when picking a major?
First of all, think about what you like to study and what you would like to do. Second, consider your interests—make sure that you consider both educational and life interests when choosing a major. In short, major in what you love and find interesting. Students who choose a major that they really love and enjoy are more likely to graduate, and are also more likely to have better grades throughout college. Finally, make sure you stay away from “shoulds:” I should take this class because my parents want me to; I should know what my major is already; I should major in (insert major here) because that’s what I always thought I would go into. Try to put the “shoulds” aside when choosing of your major.
