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.

DON'T BE AFRAID TO MEANDER
i started college in 2018 by moving across the country to LA, to a school that would eventually fail and close. mostly, I dropped out due to the pandemic. at the time i wanted to write for television because it sounded glamorous, but I became jaded when i learned more about the industry. i lived on my own for a little while and I worked odd jobs. a secret in life is that it's great to work odd jobs, because you always have something to talk about. anyway now i work for a nonprofit doing administrative stuff and i'm thinking of getting my degree in nonprofit management! i'm 25 and happy i took some time to meander and do my own thing, because i don't think i would be happy today if i worked in entertainment!

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.

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.

OCTOBER 🎃
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!
