I have to admit that I am one of the lucky ones who aren’t on their fourth major change. I always knew that I wanted to be a writer and I still want to do that. It’s just that for the first time in my college career, I am wondering if I should major in something else.

Any college student or college graduate will tell you that at times they felt like quitting and they even wondered whether they would actually find a job related to their degree post-graduation. I have my doubts. And taking a geology class made it worse.

The Geology Class

I took this class a year ago and it has really grown on me. I am really good at identifying different minerals, drawing cross-sections, and it’s a type of science that makes sense to me. After learning about the fundamentals of geology, I understood why the world was the way it was. For me, it’s so amazing to learn why volcanoes erupt and what causes a tsunami. I learned that everything happens for a reason.

I could see myself studying this all day long. And still writing, of course.

The Dilemma Now

I could technically change my major and find another school that offers a geology program. I could even finish my communications degree and then get another degree. I have so many thoughts and scenarios in my head and it’s getting pretty tiresome.

I think I should just finish writing this novel and get it published and out there. So many things to do and not enough time.
