Ah, uni life. Tis what it's all about. I'm fairly lucky that I worked out exactly what I wanted early on :)
'Tomorrow I have to walk to the store to buy tampons. I've definitely never done that before!' <-- that made me chuckle. How have you not done that in your life?!
Do you have skype? I'd really love to actually talk to you :) (is it strange to miss someone that you've never met, and just via lj entries that are becoming scarcer? ... well, I'm strange and feel like I want to talk to you)
Well at home my mom buys the tampons! Or if I did, I didn't make a trip just for that, and I definitely didn't walk to the store. (Stuff is farther away at home than it is here. Also, I don't have a car, so yeah.) It was an adventure. :) I love walking into town for anything by myself. I stay on campus most days and that gets ehh.
That's not strange at all IMO, the reason I feel like I need to update is because so much is going on in my life and I feel guilty for not keeping you all posted! It's such a weird feeling.
Ahahahah! It was common for me before I had my licence to walk up to the shops just for stuff like that XD True, the shops were a 10 minute walk away... Oh yeah, staying on campus constantly would suck.
Ahh see I knew you'd get it! =D
Also, changing majors that dramatically is odd to me - simply because here, you'd have to re-enrol in an entirely new course!
Well I don't have to declare a major until next year, so that makes it simpler. At some colleges in the US it is more difficult, and a really dramatic shift might require you to finish your degree later if you have to take extra classes.
oh, man. I totally relate to everything in this post. It can get very stressful to decide what to do. I've already switched from mechanical engineering to anthropology (don't ask.. I know. Polar opposites). And I was totally freaked out in the decision phase because I like plans too.. But hooray for college! It is, indeed, very exciting and wonderful.
That's college!! I can't believe all this that you're just discovering is almost over for me...:0
I changed my major like three times. You'll find the right one in the end and the process of getting there while you try things out is the best part! :D
I went from Japanese, to creative writing, to literature and history, to just literature LOL. ^^ And I have a friend who switched in her junior year from Japanese to art. :D
Not to discourage or dissuade you from continuing to seek your bliss & those ideals and things and people that will comprise the Kingdom (or should it be the Queendom??? ;-) of Rae, but the search for meaning and fulfillment in our lives (and the concomitant feeling of being unsure about the choices we make--great & small) isn't usually something that goes away; in my experience, it's a constant in our lives.
Not that the foregoing is a bad thing; I truly don't think that it is. As long as you're not hurting someone else (including yourself), sometimes it's just plain fun to charge full steam ahead without regard to consequences. If you've got a good head on your shoulders, as they say, I think it's a healthy thing to indulge the "wild child" in us all every now and again.
After having hidden my light under a bushel (or, more accurately, in a dark, suffocating closet) for most of my life, I can attest to the old truism that in looking back at our lives, it's not the things we did that we usually

I love that you understand that this is a faith thing...it is so, SO a faith thing. God is definitely working with me right now, and while it's frustrating to me to have to make decisions while I'm pretty much in the dark as to my future, I am trying to remember how blessed I am to have this kind of relationship with God. I can't explain everything that's been going on but it's amazing how perfectly He's taken care of me here.
Where my faith is concerned, I think I may very well have a different take than most people do, simply because of how my life has thus far played out

"For me, it is better to be about doing my part to accomplish the Father's work than it is to be seen talking about it."
I definitely agree. And someone else reminded me of this a few weeks ago, so maybe it's something I should think about. I don't talk directly about my faith a lot, but I also don't want to be shy about the fact that where the future is concerned, I am just trying my best to follow God.

Long time no see/read! ;-)

I am glad that some people major in math. Let's leave it at that. ;)
Que sera sera.
That's good advice.
