Lost in Thought: Your Guide to Choosing Your Major

Humans are known for their curious nature. Everything interests them. They’re overwhelmed with the urge to know everything, read every book, and learn every language. However, many stick out like a sore thumb as nothing interests them. Both situations are sides of the same coin. Both can lead to disasters as a person is either interested in everything that they can’t choose one thing they love, or they have no clue what to choose.

How To Know What Interests You

One way to know what interests you is to take the time to reflect on what activities make you feel energized and excited. Think about things that you enjoy doing, hobbies you have, and topics that you find yourself naturally drawn to. It can also help to keep a journal and write down any ideas or activities that come to mind, so you can explore them further. Additionally, trying out different activities can help you to find something that stands out to you as something that you are passionate about.

Steps to Choosing Your University Major

Now that you can determine what topic(s) interest(s) you, here are the steps to choose your university major:

: ̗̀➛ Consider Your Interests: Consider your interests, strengths, and weaknesses to help you decide which major and university is the best fit for you.

: ̗̀➛ Research: Research different majors and universities to get an idea of which one is best suited for you and your interest. Look into the curriculum, potential career paths, and other related information.

: ̗̀➛ Talk to People: Talk to people in your chosen field or related fields to get an idea of the realities of the work and to get advice from those who have walked the path before.

: ̗̀➛ Seek Professional Guidance: If you need help deciding, consider talking to a professional counselor or mentor. They can provide you with more information and help you make a more informed decision.

: ̗̀➛ Make a Decision: Once you have all the information, make a decision and commit to it. Choose a major and university that you feel is the best fit for you and your goals.

Choosing a major is an important decision that requires time and careful consideration. It’s essential to reflect on your interests, values, skills, and long-term career goals before making a decision. It’s important to keep in mind that choosing a major does not necessarily limit your career options. Many people find success in a career field that is unrelated to their major.
