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.

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.

i'm in community college rn, i had a rough time in high school so i figured id do two catchup/gen ed years before finishing up my degree at a 4 year. we all know its college app season/college result season and oh my god guys i keep seeing these high schoolers shooting for 8% acceptance rate universities and not settling for anything less. like i get it, i do. but am i the only one whos seeing an uptick of kids just applying places just to say they got in ? i feel like i ask a lot of these people about what they want to do/what they're passionate about and why they're majoring in what they're majoring in and they just give me a blank stare. can we PLEASE normalize saving money and taking your time ? you have the rest of your life to work and be miserable paying taxes and pulling your weight at a 9-5. there's literally no shame in community, and I'm so sick and tired of people thinking there is. if you don't know what you want to do, you're allowed to take the time to get there. it's honestly worse to settle on a mediocre major that you don't particularly like just to get your degree faster and say you graduated on time. high school really doesn't give you the time to decide these things so once you reach adulthood it's your responsibility to allocate your time towards it. i really want to see more kids soul searching in a meaningful and responsible way. and if you know what you wanna do and you got into your 8% acceptance rate dream school, more power to you. I'm just saying that seeing a case like that is rare these days and people deserve the time to think and absorb their new responsibilities.

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.

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.

I love Halloween, in fact it should be celebrated all year round. It’s so fun! you get to have an excuse to dress up as you favorite characters. Halloween parties are everything, bonus points if it’s a house party. It’s something so serious to me i will never be old for Halloween I don’t care I’ll be in my 80’s and would still dress up for Halloween. Dont even joke about the costumes lad!
