I totally agree with the whole “not comparing yourself to your peers” thing. My new major requires 2 extra semesters but theres no time limits when it comes to life! We shouldnt stress out about not finishing after 4 yrs bc graduating later is better than not graduating at all 🤷🏻♀️
EXACTLY!
Erin Coghlan my major does too! are you maybe going into speech-language pathology?
chloe p. Radiography!
When you choose a major, own that shit and practice like you've never practiced before. Be the best at that subject matter - don't sit there and ponder whether or not it's the right decision because it will never be the right decision 100%, it's a trade-off. Parts of the job or field will not align with some of your interests, curiosities, personality style, or attachment style. However, you will become a professional in which experience is gained that enables you to slowly bridge towards the field that interests your passions. In other words, assume that what you're passionate about will change over time, because it does for most people. Assume this fact to have confidence in choosing a field that you're mostly sure about entering but not 100% sure. You'll never be 100% certain.
I've worked as an actor, bellman, labourer, high school teacher, and now I'm doing my masters in psychology to become a psychotherapist. Your first career is unlikely to be the one you settle on for the long-term; or, better said, you'll probably have several long-term careers throughout your life. So pick one you find interesting and crush that shit.
I wish I could save this comment 😳
@@morganfreeman544 Thanks, Morgan! You have the voice of God :D.
All seriousness, though, I appreciate your comment. Take care
you're so right dude, i legit am majoring in computer science and sitting here complaining about it being hard, but granted i've done absolutely nothing to try and better myself in the field. I guess its just that since its been online school, ive had the luxury of just being able to half ass school work and not devote a significant amount of attention to school. ima try and teach myself code, idk how it'll go or if i even stick with it but, I was legit just going to give up because i don't know shit a year into my major. granted, I do not like coding at all, im decent at math but i can't see myself doing math for the rest of my life. but ill give it a shot, i just don't know wtf to do rn, currently a freshman bouta be a sophomore. I like film, and fitness/nutriton but i don't know how to use these hobbies to find a major/job for my future self.
@@jhill17 "I do not like coding at all, im decent at math but i can't see myself doing math for the rest of my life". Right. Exactly. Note that what you take now in university is not what you will do for the rest of your life. That is a prism that students see the world through while within the walls of university. It's not all bad by any means, in fact it's a good thing that you're planning for the next few years because you said, "but ill give it a shot...". Crush that shit. Give it the best damn shot you got. Get paid. Get paid a lot. Then transition to fitness & nutrition with skills to be able to make your own website and database while working a contracted position in coding until you get on your feet. Good luck. Plan your next 5 years, then go from there.
Thank you for your advice! I am in 11th grade and need to apply to the universities, but I haven’t even decided my major yet. I wanted to choose programming because I do competitive programming (not quite successful though). And maybe because of being unsuccessful in it I quickly become frustrated and thought about choosing engineering instead (when I was in 5th grade I took courses on robotics and quite enjoyed it). And recently I was thinking of becoming a game artist. Now I think I’ll try programming and switch to the engineering if will feel so. You really convinced me that choosing a wrong major is not so critical. I think your comment was much more helpful than this video)
i FEEL u !!!! i started as a biology major (bc i was interested in psychology & was told to go to med school so i could make more $$$$) - absolutely knew i was in wrong major after literally the first bio 101 class - thought "wow maybe i should base my future off what i'm interested in & not how much $$$ i'll make - then switched to Journalism bc i love to read & write (ppl would be hellla shady when i would say i was a journalism major bc obvi they don't make that much) - i felt much better in this major but at my college (LSU) There's the school of mass communication & u pick a concentration (journalism, PR, digital ad or political comm) & i knew i loved the school but didnt think journalism was right for me (Couldnt see myself interviewing ppl) so i switched to PR & i am in love!!!! i finally found my place & am minoring in business & sociology
thank u so much for sharing your story! it's so important to be motivated by passion and not money. I wish you nothin but the best!💗
hi loved reading your story! I’m applying for college in a couple months and I’m looking into LSU and my major I’m thinking will be in the Mass Commutations kinda field. All that to say I was wondering if you could give a quick review, would you recommend attending LSU? sorry for the long message ahah
@@jada3939 yes i absolutely love LSU, campus is so beautiful, people are so friendly & the culture around literally everything at that school is amazing !!!! especially the mass communication school, everyone who works in that department is so awesome! if you have any other questions lemme know!!
What's PR?
Sugar Brown Public Relations :)
I’m a junior rn and I’m so confused as to what I wanna major in. I wanna do something where I can make a lot of money, but i’m also not a people person, I can not even order for myself at a restaurant.
update: i’m graduating in 2 days and I still have no idea🧍🏼♀️
another update: i’m a freshman in college and i’m undecided 😭
another update: just got my associates degree, still don’t know LMAO
Nun wrong w stripping
Bilal lmaooo ik😂
wising you luck
McKenzie sameee
Zebachi i’ve thought ab those things but there is almost always multiple downsides to all of them🙄
i just changed my major for the fifth time,, y'all lets hope this is the one!!!!!!!!! (bio > history > graphic design > drawing > english literature)
karisma if you can try to stay within a specific school or general topic
ooh I'm in english lit too! I started out interested in microbiology and then I realized I wasn't actually passionate about it. But reading has always been a favorite pastime of mine and I really enjoyed the classics, so english lit is perfect for me!
mechanical engineering> graphic design> media studies and english double major with the journalism certificate program
karisma I’m thinking about majoring in graphic design. Could I ask what made you decide to get out of it?
karisma same I think I changed my major for the 8th time
I started pre-med and ended up with nursing and now I’m a nurse anesthetist.
Nicole Kawa I currently want to be a nurse anesthetist as well. How is it ?
Princess It’s fantastic. I love it! School as hard but so worth it!
Is it a hard degree in college?
im about to be a sophmore in highschool, and i'm on summer break, why am i so interested in watching college videos- lmao. i enjoyed watching dont get me wrong lol
barbie crack it’s never too early!
Aye me too
I love watching college videos
Off topic but hey army
@@ayab828 yo armyyy
i am watching this bc i’m starting college this year and i’m going in as undecided, i thought i knew what i wanted to declare, but this really got me thinking omg it’s crazy i have to figure out the rest of my life in the next four years
Omg yes I agree! Its like almost not possible 😂 I'm a nursing major and this is just like not! Lol
Im a freshman too and im undecided i feel like everyone else has decided what they want to but im here having no clue😭
I’m a senior taking IB classes and I feel like I barely have time to think about my major I feel like I don’t even know if it’s for me I need help lol
Tip #4 apply for financial aid and scholarships THE YEAR before
coco marineblu what happens when you do it senior year of high school?
me, an almost-junior pulling the pikachu face reading this comment
By I did scholarships senior year. I would concentrate on local scholarships. Local ones have higher chances, but try for all either way.
@@dianaduran8166 When you apply to college, you apply for financial aid so you have money to help pay for college. Scholarships you would find local ones in your school and town.
Haha I didn’t have the chance 🙃. I had to just drop out and get my GED due to credits not transferring so I had no idea I was graduating earlier until I found all this stuff out soooo yeah
When your a high school sophomore and has no clue what you like
i am second year out of college (high school) and still have no clue what to study
Guava Chava same here, I’m interested in psychology and true crime but ik there aren’t all lot of job options in that field.
When you’re a highschool senior and can’t worry about what you love because there’s no money for that
deadass me rn
Im a senior in high school as of now and I haven’t done anything for college, I’ve just been crying because idk what I wanna be I life, I love biology and the science and still don’t know what is my calling 😭😭
Lol my college story is a shit show... when I was in hs I thought I KNEW I wanted to be a medical lab tech. I went and did gen eds then transferred to a comm college to get my MLT degree. I do like it but now that I’m working it I don’t think it’s my forever job. So now I’m back in school to get a undergrad in sociology and psychology so I can go and get my masters in counseling. I can’t believe they ever expect high schoolers to pick life careers 😅😅 craziness
so i’m going to be a senior in high school in the fall and i’ve been STRESSED about what i’m going to do after high school and this video really helped relieve some anxiety about me picking a major and knowing what i want to look for 💞✨ literally thank youuuu 😫
HeyItsPhoenixx I’m in the same situation I have no idea what to do w my life and I’m freaking out 😩
@@paigemueller9444 First time?
dude I am about to be a sophomore in college and I just switched to botany instead of marine bio so its ok to be lost
what did you end up doing?
I’ve been having the same problem people telling me my major is useless, I want to be a librarian because I’m so passionate about the library and books, I need to keep telling myself they’re not clocking in, I will be it’ll be my check
same!
Mhm
This opened my eyes so much. I’ve been so worried about what I should major in, and watching this helped a ton! Thank you Hannah!
i was in science major for 2 years because of my parents. i never really liked science,biology,physics and all stuff but i had to because my parents believe being in science major will get a good job , but the truth is i nvr like it. but then after a talk and all i changed my major to human resources and will be in university next month. what hannah said was true, don’t let other people tell you what to do , it’s ur own life . btw thank you sm and ly hannah ❤️
❤️ so proud of you
I have too many things I’m passionate about, I love every subject I study at school (English/French/German/art/philosophy/music/maths) and I just have no idea how to even narrow down a specific path I’m interested in. No matter which one I choose there will always be ones I’m rejecting 😫
Try looking into an independent major where you can design your own major of courses, depends if your college has that option tho.
Mikayla ehh ye nothing in my country has anything like that, that sounds really cool though !
I am in the EXACT same situation. I wish I could just study everything!
@@ivymckay776 honestly you may want to look into liberal arts its sorta like that
I’m entering my sophomore year of college and I’m still undecided because I literally have no idea what to DOOO 😩
ME IM A SOPHOMORE AND I STILL DONT KNOWWW
Same
I needed this!! I am struggling with my major right now, and I’m also super worried about having to take an extra semester. I’m happy to see that I’m not the only one who is struggling with a major change 😂❤️❤️ thanks for this video and I am happy you are doing integrated marketing!!
LOVE this video!! Study your own passions and not what other people say you should be doing, as you said. It is so easy to look at where someone else is and question your own worth because you aren't in the same place, but where you are right now is for a reason. Keep spreading advice and positivity, you rock.
What you said about comparing you path to others is so true. I’ve definitely realized that when thinking about majors.
First of all: Love your cardigan
Second: I totally agree with you, this is the time to try and learn what we like to do and do it. Hannah please don't stop doing vlogs, I love them ❤️❤️
My college journey has been all over the place. After high school,I went because I didn't want to disappoint my parents and eventually dropped out after my first semester. Then,I went to a trade school which was an absolute disaster and I hated it. I went through some tough times for the next several years and eventually went back to college for one of their fast track programs. I'm currently going back to college for the third time to major in what I'm really passionate about. English has called my name since before my Freshman year of high school,but I failed to listen until now. It's okay if you can't figure it out. Life has a way of working things out when you need it to. You may have to go down a lot of different paths to get where you need to be,but I promise,you'll get there eventually. Keep searching for yourself.
omg i’m also an incoming junior who is changing my major for a second time! there is so much unnecessary pressure on knowing exactly what you want to do at such a young age. good for you girl! i’m rooting for you girl. cheers 🥂
Been looking forward to this video 🤩 I just completed my sophomore year of college and changed majors after my freshman year and will have to stay in college an extra year so just know you’re not alone!
we're in this together!!!
I've been watching youtube videos about college majors for the past like three hours and legit was at the point where I decided I was just never gonna leave my room so I didn't have to pick anything but what you said about "picking a major for you because the job you get is what YOU will have to door the rest of YOUR life not anyone else's" really stuck with me because I know regardless of what I choose people are gonna give me shit so like might as well choose something I like WHAT A CONCEPT lmao
Mhm.
oof i was convinced my entire life i wanted to be an elementary school teacher. i literally took classes in high school that dealt with teaching living breathing children lol. and i loved it so much. but my parents kept telling me it’s not a good job, i wouldn’t get paid well, i wouldn’t be able to live comfortable, etc. and i really considered going into nursing/pediatrics, and i loved that i could still work with kids and families.. but it didn’t feel right, yk? i was good at it, but i just didn’t enjoy it. just like you, i was hoping to graduate on time and get on with my life after 4 years. but, to make my education degree really worth while and make my parents comfortable with my decision, i decided im gonna go for my masters. i’m gonna have to do extra time, and at first i was a lil iffy about it. but now i’ve come to terms with it and am actually excited to get my masters and start my life 2 years later than my peers
Such good advice! I was lucky and knew what i wanted to do but a lot of my friends had no idea. It’s so helpful to feel out classes and know what you like!
so proud you finally found something that fits you!!
❤️ so proud of you too. I know you'll thrive
This is EXACTLY what I went though this year. Thought I wanted to go into the medical field, realized it isn't my passion, realized I just needed time to not rush a huge life decision and now i'm going to community college to actually study something that makes me excited. This is such a real thing that I think people should talk about more. Thank you so much for making this video
What are you majoring in?
I really love the advice you gave, I’m about to be a freshman in college and I’m so glad I found this video. Thank you 💕
I'm transferring and going back to school next year after taking a couple of years off. I'll be doing my original degree (Biomedical Science) but adding a second (BSc in Public Health). I'll be completely starting over as a freshman at 22, after all of my friends have graduated. You really have to go at your own pace, and do what's going to put you on the career and life path you want to be on. As you said so well, no-one else is going to live for you, so you do you.
I’m so stressed about what i wanna major in... my family wants me to go into nursing for the $$$ but it’s not something i see myself doing, and i know people say don’t choose a major just for the money but honestly i live in LA and everything here is so expensive and i imagine as i get older prices are gonna go up so i wanna major in something where i know I’ll make good money and my financially stable & live comfortably but i just can’t find anything that interests me:((
K If you end up going down the money route, make sure, and I can’t stress this enough, to involve something you really love doing heavily on the side. I want to do pre-med and while I love medicine, I know it’ll be long and hard so I also know I’m either going to minor in film or do it heavily on the side because it’s my passion and it’ll keep me grounded and happy
explore what makes you happy from the bottom of your heart and don’t leave it behind for anything
Always do what you love or leave time for your interests. Nursing is time consuming and requires a lot of commitment. You can do it but make sure it’s what YOU want
I'm in this same situation right now! Update???
I would be a nurse. But the educational process is too stressful. I’m finishing up my associates degree.. I know I have to graduate this winter and I’ll have to find a major. Smh still undecided.
Okay. Woah. I can relate to this so much. I applied to college undecided. I knew I wanted to go into business at orientation, so I switched then to what my university considered "Pre-Business." It's like what you said you experienced - 2 years of general business courses that helped you navigate which field to choose. We couldn't declare a major until we were Juniors. Like you, I loved my Financial Accounting introductory course I took my first (Fall) semester of Sophomore year. But, I also loved Marketing and had always had it in the back of my mind as something I could see myself majoring in (I didn't view Accounting that way before because I really had no idea what Accounting even was/entailed before I took the class). When it came time to declare, I looked at all the classes I would have to take for each major and figured out that I could do both while still graduating in 4 years, if, of course, the classes were offered in the semesters I needed them and didn't overlap, and I got lucky! I had decided in my head that I would also major in Finance (an extra 4 classes to triple major) if I needed to stick around for an extra semester for scheduling issues with the other two. Taking 5 or 6 classes a semester, living at home, and class offerings working in my favor, I graduated this April with straight A's and 128 credits, completing both Accounting and Marketing majors in 4 years!
People would always look at me weird when I told them I was majoring in both Accounting and Marketing because they were "so different." It's funny to me when I hear that because I think the two fields are the most important in the business world and being educated in both can't hurt - especially when the alternative was giving up something I loved to take a bunch of random electives instead! (Additionally, as a straight A student I always had the mindset that if I were to get a lower grade I could much more easily handle it if I did it in a class that was helping me directly achieve something that mattered to me - my majors.)
I know what you mean about the whole CPA/Internship pressure, though. They always kept pushing that at my school, too. They even suggested prolonging school/taking semesters off just to get an internship LOL (I laugh because I'm a hater of the whole start this phase of your life while you're still in this phase of your life thing.). It goes without saying I haven't had an internship, but this Fall I will start pursuing my MBA to get the credits and take the classes necessary to become a CPA, although I haven't officially decided whether or not I want to. (Through my MBA program, I aim to get an internship or two before I graduate. The program will take me 3 semesters, 4 classes each to complete.) Hopefully my MBA process will open my eyes a little further to which path to choose - Accounting or Marketing.
At 22, I feel like I've done a pretty good job at staying true to who I am and what I enjoy. However, I still have things to figure out, big decisions to make that could quite literally change the course of my life. Like you, too, change scares me and it's weird to think that after next year my daily routine will change so much from what I've grown accustom to. However, I have faith that I will figure it out and end up where I'm supposed to be if not soon then eventually, and that's enough for now. With that, good luck on the rest of your college journey. Wishing you happiness and all the best!
this video is great and you should make a summer bucket list and post it!!!!!
Going into my freshman year of college as undecided, because while I know what I don’t want to do, I haven’t settled on what I would like to do 😊 thanks for your tips girly
You just got yourself a new subscriber. I loved everything you pointed out in this video. Everyone is different and you have your own timeline. More vids like these please
Thank you!! People have been asking me if marketing is something that I actually wanna do and i have been feeling a bit insecure about it. just hearing that someone else is doing marketing in hopes of creating makes me feel less alone. I too have changed my major: psychology to nursing and now to marketing and im so glad i did it even though i will be graduating a semester late.
Girl. You're everything.
I loveee your videos!! They’re so relatable. I’m actually still in the process about hearing about my acceptance for this Fall into the school I’m planning on transferring to. I’m really excited because I’m going into the school as a different major I was bio with a minor in psych but I flipped it to majoring in psych and a minor in bio. Most of the people I went to high school graduated just a couple weeks ago in May. But it’ll probably take me at least two more years to graduated. It was very hard originally to come to terms that I’d be graduating “late”. I finally came upon the realization that I’m doing what’s best for me and shouldn’t compare myself to others. I need to do what’s best for me!
Thank you for making this video. I know many people will find it helpful 💛
This video was really insightful even though I’m only a senior in high school. Going into college I feel like this advice is going to be really helpful.
I started with Business Administration because I wasn't sure what I wanted to do and was told that was what I should go into. I got all A's but still just felt like I wasn't excited about my future. I found out I really liked biology while taking a Gen-Ed. That was second semester sophomore year so I felt stuck and was terrified to completely change my major. I decided to transfer schools to one that is better for science. Now I'm Pre-Med majoring in Cell & Molecular Biology. I was supposed to graduate in 2020 but now won't graduate until 2021. Because of this, I almost didn't change majors but I realized that one extra year isn't bad if I love what I'm learning and am excited about my future.
I'm honestly so glad you made this video, didn't know I needed it! But now I feel reassured so thank uuu
I am starting my freshman year in the fall and I am also going in as undeclared business. Right after you mentioned your new major, I went to look at my university's undergrad majors & saw they offered something similar called business integrated studies & I think that is what I want to explore. I love communications and pr but want to stay in the business field so I think this is also perfect for me. Thank you for this video.
As a marketing major at a major university I can firmly tell you marketing is 100% NOT USELESS. I can't believe someone told you that :(((( So excited to watch your journey, best of luck!
Sami Myers but you havent graduated yet, so how could you know?
Agreed! My dad is a Marketing major. Now he's a pharmaceutical representative and he makes 100k+ a year. It's an awesome career choice if you're a people person.
Kaitlin Pages I think that can be true, but if you’re not enjoying your studies switching to Marketing won’t hurt! I graduated in May and already have a job offer lined up with a great salary! Listen to your heart, you don’t want to be stuck in a career you hate! At the very least you can still major in finance but seek out marketing internships to get you the right experience! Best wishes!!
M357 I didn’t think it was particularly “hard”. Mine was a B.S. so it had more math then maybe a B.A. in Marketing, but I loved it so none of my classes ever seemed hard! In a lot of business schools you have to be well-rounded though and that means taking classes in accounting, finance, and information systems too, those classes can be a little more challenging!
Is Art major useless, like drawing, studio arts etc?
I left college after never declaring a major. Now I think I'm ready to go back and get a degree. It really stuck out to me what you said about doing something you genuinely are interested in. It only makes sense lol but the way you said it rang a bell for me for some reason. It's me who's gonna go through the process of getting it. no one else.
Just came across your channel and the degree you switched to last is exactly what I’ve been looking for! I’m still in middle school so I haven’t done much research, and my mind might change. But thank you for the video!
This video was great!! You really inspire me, I'm glad that you realize what you want, xoxo from Argentina ♥
Wow I feel like this video is a literal reflection of my life. I was thinking about accounting and now I’m looking towards marketing (granted I have not taken any business classes which sounds stupid, I know) but hopefully that is the path I will take because I am intrigued by the creative aspect like you mentioned. Thank you for this video, I feel like it relived my anxiety a bit! 😊
ilysm hannah! i’m going to be an incoming college freshman and these will help me a ton! :)
good luck :)
Thank you thank you thank you! THANKS for this video and for you being so open about collage and majors.. I think many people out there are afraid of collage (me included) because it is scary to think about the future, and that your major is becoming your whole future and your future depends on your major. So it's a good thing that you're open about this, because there is NO shame to change school or major. It is normal, and it takes time to find the right decision for YOURSELF and your life. And also, I'm not even joking a bit- I stayed up to 1 am last night, ONLY for this video haha.. Hate time zones (live in norway). But thank you again, I am in collage now and I kind of want to change my major.. love u.
what did you change it to if you did? what's your major?
Fatima Magaña I always thought med school was for me, but after a year I was like «nope computer science its the right choice», I was so tired of med school after s year so I couldn’t imagine spending my whole life in the hospital.. I’m really happy now❤️
Going through the pandemic at the moment. Thank you for this video stranger!!! 🙏
So true. Whatever you do, you gotta love it and focus on you
suchhhh a helpful video girl thank you!! being 17 and trying to forge a path soo far down the line is super stressful
Started out Human Nutrition, Food and Excercise... now I'm Wildlife Conservation. Thankfully can say I'm proud where I am and wouldn't dream of switching out. I agree with everything you've said and can I just say it's SO nice having a youtuber who's in college. Thank you so much for this
you inspire me so much hannah
omg i legit needed this SO BAD. i started as a bio major now i’m a marketing major?? whaaaatt thanks for this tho fr! helps us college folks out
we all find our path eventually! hope everything works out for you xx
Your videos are so well edited and helpful yet entertaining! I love you girl ❤️
thank you 💗 love you more!!!
CAN YOU PLEASE DO A VIDEO ABOUT YOUR MAJOR SPECIFICALLY!?
i would love to get updates with your new major!! I just declared marketing & graphic design this past semester :)
Alexis Bushen hey i’ve been thinking of doing marketing and graphic design!! i’m a little lost tho, how is it going?
This has been so helpful! Thank you, never seen any of your videos before but definitely subscribing!
I’m only a junior rn but I’m hoping that I’ll still go with the major I’m thinking of now, physics major, pre med tract hopeful
If your highschool has a CNA program as an elective take it so that way you would know if that's what you wanna do
Also take as many as classes as you can it'll save you money and time
My sister graduated from integrated marketing communications in a small college and she got an excellent job that is both fun and pays really well. Her other course mates also had lots of great opportunities. Good for you for picking something you’ll love ❤️
dan l Hey! I’m in the same path as your sister, what is her job title?
Sam she’s a management trainee in a global company :)
Thank you for this video Hannah!! I’m also an accounting major but I’m hating it and am wanting to change, but I don’t know what to. I guess this just gave me some insight in that it’s ok to change. My university didn’t let me go in undecided so I may have to do extra classes and stay longer but I honestly have no clue. I’m 18 and I’m expected to know exactly what I’m doing.
What are you majoring in now?
Omg same! I just declared accounting as my major and I'm a junior but I don't like it😅. So I dunno what to do either😅
I look forward to your videos all week and now that your posting twice a week I want to scream!!!!💘
yayyy so glad you're excited (:
Your an inspiration to people always remember that ...I was told not to do architecture an etc but this helped boost my confidence
I’m a transfer student as well and I’m having a hard time choosing my major. I know I want to be in the science field & I’m passionate about animals and the environment💛 I wanted to major in zoology but then people kept telling me it’s useless & to go for something that would make more $$$ /: I was really excited about it too. It seems like everyone just wants me to become a doctor/vet so that I can make money but that’s not something I want to do. I’d be very unhappy. After listening to your tips, I’m going to start making decisions for MYSELF and not for others. These were super helpful so thank you 💗 I hope I can figure out what I want to major in soon :)
I keep switching my major from sociology to psychology and I honestly can’t choose one and it’s driving me insane because I have these big expectations from my family that I should finish no later than 5 years for my undergrad but this video really helped me understand just to take my time and do what I want! thank you :)
What did you major in its been 1 year
hearing you talk about how much you don't want to be an accountant or accounting intern was funny because that's exactly what i want to do and it genuinely makes me so excited hahaha
also, in my senior year of high school, i had ZERO idea what i wanted to do. i started in actuarial science but changed to accounting in the first semester of my sophomore year. if you're entering college and you don't know what you wanna do, don't worry too much about it. you'll find your calling! lol
ashton finally another person who thinks accounting is exciting!
This video came into my life at the most perfect time!
You have a great mindset. Good luck!
Omg thank you so much Hannah I was just thinking about college major recently!! Great advice❤️❤️
I got you! good luck (:
Hannah Elise 🥰🥰
this is so relateable oh my god thank you so much this video made me feel better about being undeclared!
heyyy i totally feel you cuz i had kind of the same experience , in my country we have different branches in high school , there is scientific , math, mechanic , literature ; foreign languages and "accounting and management" , like once you are in high school u choose one of these branches to focus on what you are good at and prepare you to what you want to do in college , so for me , i chose the scientific branch , but through the years i found out that am not that good at it as i was in middle school , so when i took my Baccalaureat ( its the big last huge exam in high school that decides if you can go to college or not) , i did passed it and with a good grade to say the least , but i just didn't feel it anymore, and when people started choosing their majors in college , my friends all went to science related colleges ..EXCEPT ME!! i chose JOURNALISM cuz i wanted something different , i had a lot of disaprovments ofc, my mom thought it was stupid ( love u mom) to waste all those years in high school to change everything in the end , my friends found it weird too, cuz not many do this major after studying scientific branch; and even when i started college, every time someone knew what i did, they laugh and say that it was crazy cuz there's more opportunities in the scientific field....even now, after 3 years, i still get the same remarks from everyone , specially in my family, when i see how they treat my sister who chose a hard scientific major ( i understand that its harder than my major but still , i am studying after all) ... anyway, and now that i took my licence degree, am going to continue my Master , and back to changing majors lol, through my years in college i realized i dnt want to do TV and audio-visual kinda thing , so i decided to major next year in PUBLIC RELATIONS cuz that's what i want to do from now on......just saying that you don't have to push yourself to do certain things that u don't feel like doing them, just go with what you feel like even if that meant multiple major changes lol
you ARE living your best life sis
Really needed this thanks Hannah 💗
I also was in business and accounting and now thinking about something else in business. But keep in mind u can take summer classes and graduate early, good luck!
I’m graduating a semester late also. I changed my major after one semester and then I transferred schools. Just think of your degree as a very expensive Christmas present.
I literally feel the same way you do. But I went through school and graduated with a major that was safe. I got a job and everything but I wish I knew I loved creating videos and doing something more creative back then.
I like the way you talk! It's friendly and so fun! Of course you are so beautiful :)
I'm starting at UofSC this fall and I'm a music education major. people constantlyyyyy ask why I wanna be a teacher when they make no money and blah blah but I love children and I love music and they deserve educators who care!!! your major should be about what drives you to do your best and be the best person you can be! it's so important not to let your friends and other influences in your life try to convince you to worry about money! It's YOUR life. I love this video! thank you
Susie Reeves Hi! I’m a senior going into high school this fall and I really needed this comment. I have noooo idea what I want to do but I know it’s probably not STEM related and in this day and age STEM is the talk of the town. These last couple nights I’ve been freaking out because everyone keeps telling me to go into STEM when I know that’s what I’m not interested in. So thank u for this comment!! Passion is what you need and to not listen to what everyone thinks.
thank you a lot for this insight. i would love to teach. something in my heart is tugging me to pursue it...
I was studying law, and changed to international studies after two yaers of college because it was my real passion and I've never been more happy!!!♡♡♡ so glad that I'm not alone in this hahahaha Greetings from Chile!!
Hey any updates ? I want do international studies
by the way i love your way of editing and if you want something in graphic or motion graphic i can help u
i love your channel so much omg
thank you 💗
love videos like this yesss! ilysm
Loved this! Where is your cardigan from, it’s super cute!
Seems like it comes down to potential job options associated with a major. Some majors are more versatile than others when it comes to job options.
So before choosing a major take into account how versatile it is as far as job options. I hear that economics is a good major for this reason.
I think job versatility is important for a major. Because you never know what your interest will be 8 to 10 years after college.
I would love a video specifically on Communication Studies or IMC! I'll be a freshman in the fall and I'm looking into that... but there's just a lot of things that I don't know I don't know if that makes any sense lol
broo, ur. major is exactly what i want. im only in 10th grade, but about to enter senior year and uni. but at least i have an idea on what i want to take. thank u for the vid lol helped a lot
The queen stating facts and facts only🙌🏼
I was watching this and omg you were worried about not graduating in may 2021 but you graduated in may 2021 omg girl
I wish more college youtubers would do videos like this
I’ve dropped out of college because I hated my school and my degree (economics) so I tried to get into Med school, couldn’t and went back to the same school, everyone said I was crazy, because I already knew I didn’t like it, and guess what, now I do. It depends on your mind set a lot, if you feel you need to do something do it, it’s your life and your choices, you are the one you’ll need to deal with for the rest of your life.
ellie Business/Finance, I don’t really know how to explain it 😅
Okay i can sorta relate but i go to high school in germany. Here we have GKs (Grundkurse = basic classes) and LKs (Leistungskurse = classes that are harder and you have more of them) and I wasn’t sure what LKs to take and also felt kinda pressured to pick something “easy and safe” because you can’t change ur LKs again so i picked english and geography (super easy imo) even tho i wanted to take biology and geography. Everyone kept telling me that biology is gonna be really hard and “why would you make it harder for yourself” so i picked those subjects. I immediately regretted it and went back to the year office (we have teachers for our year and they have an office, that’s where you go and pick ur subjects) and pretty much begged them to change it and thankfully they did even tho it was like a week after i first picked the subjects. I honestly thought for a moment that I’ll have to do english for two years and while i was good (good for german standards lmao) i just never rlly enjoyed it. Biology is def more fitting and i enjoy it a lot more and i will probably go to uni in that field.
Don’t let people influence your decisions, just do what you want!
Thank you so much this really helped me ❤️!
When my high school finished, I was thinking of so many things like psychology, literature, economics, media, business, journalism etc. I want something high paying plus interesting at first I chose media major with focus on advertising because it mixes creativity with business but it was a wrong decision because I get to know that I'm not that creative, doing shooting work, illustration etc. Then I realized I want to change major, and one thing clicked me that Business is that major which is demanding, high paying PLUS it mixes everything which I was thinking at first. Now I'm a happy business student who's specializing in three fields finance, marketing and banking. As a business student I'm studying everything I wanted! From psychology to languages, from economics to advertising (has media side too) and so on.
Is the pressure of the society, we have to understand ( I HAVE TO UNDERSTAND) that each one have the moment and no feel the pressure to do it at the same time like others. I started college in January and was the happiest and the worst months moments that I’ve had.😂😭😂❤️ You were helpful
Your videos are so nice to watch and I really love your channel. I also want to do business in college, so we have that in common 🙂 Wish you all the best!
it's a great choice!
honestly at this point it's like any career that you tell people you want to do they got something to say and a reason for you NOT to do it. It could be the best career in the world but there's always somebody out there with a reason for you not to do what YOU wanna do
Don't mind me, just watching this while I'm currently in middle school
Completely unrelated to your comment but I love your username 😅
Hey good on you because time flies and you’ll be in this situation in the blink of an eye
