Hey guys!
So this week I plan on declaring my major (PPPLPL)…
I think this is something that a lot of people find to be intimidating-but it’s really not! Just because you declare you’re major, doesn’t mean you are forced to stick with it if you find yourself disliking it. You are allowed to change your majors multiple times, and in college, this is even expected of students! There’s no shame in changing a major because you’re supposed to get a better sense of what you like the more you learn.
I’m in my first semester of sophomore year now, and the reason why I’m going to declare is to become eligible to take certain classes. At BU, like at most colleges, keep certain classes exclusive to certain majors….
Actually declaring your major is a breeze. Most of the time it just involves finding the department and signing a piece of paper.
But when thinking about what to major in, in the end you should do what you like. Don’t pick something that you find boring or hate because you think it’ll get you a better job or will be easier to do well in. If you pick something your passionate in, you’ll love what you learn!
Cheers!
