Graduation is near, and I can't help but ooze senioritis from every pore. Im over essays, I'm over tests, and I'm sooo over homework. With that being said, I would like to walk you all through my undergraduate career:
- I got accepted to California State University Northridge (CSUN) straight out of high school and at the time is was really my "Plan B".
- My dream school at the time was the University of Southern California (USC) because of its prestigious academics, and college life.
- Little did I know, CSUN was renowned for their amazing College of Business and Economics, and so much more.
But enough of that nonsense, this post is for all my peeps out there wondering what they want to do with their lives. Due to my love for animals I thought becoming a veterinarian and pursuing a degree in Biology was the way to go, I was wrong. Not only did I hate chemistry, and certain biology classes, I found myself contemplating how would I survive a full 8 years of them. No way...No way in hell I was I cut out for that, Im too social, I want a life, I don't want to immerse myself in a field that would make me give up a social life for 8 years. These were all thoughts that crossed my mind when I decided to take a business law course. I just thought that I would take the course to test the waters and see if there would be any chance of me liking the business college. A few classes in and I was in love. I counted the seconds in my biology classes, but couldn't wait to run across campus to attend my business law class, it was like the course had sparked a skill inside me that I always knew I had, but never thought I would be so good at. That talent I am so very proud of is skillfully negotiating and being able to persuade the other side that my point of view is correct. That following semester, I changed my major to Business Law. My change in course delayed my graduation date by one year, but to this day I know it was well worth it.
As I finish up my last two weeks of my undergraduate degree, I can't help but think about how time flew, and how thrilled I am that I found a major that speaks to me, and that I know I will be able to apply to my future career. To all my "Undecided" folks; take your time, forget about how long it's gonna take to get to your goal, take classes that are out of your comfort zone, and who knows what crazy path it might lead you down. Whatever major you choose, and whatever career path you choose to go down, go with all your heart!
Undergrad, done. Next stop, Law School!
