Tip #1 Know it’s OK to be undecided
I want to start off by saying it is absolutely OK to be undecided for the first couple years of college. It’s ok to wait and find a major you actually enjoy rather than settling for a major and end up regretting it later on. Being undecided does not mean you are never going to figure out what to do with your life, it just means you need a little longer to figure out what you want to do.
After All, how the heck are we supposed to know what we want to do with the rest of our life at the age of 18?? That is a crazy expectation to put on ourselves. So go easy on yourself. Don’t stress too much. I know we often feel pressured to have it all figured out, but trust me no one has it figured out.

Tip # 2 Take a variety of electives
Electives are classes you have to take outside of the required classes of your major. That being said I recommend you take a variety of elective classes. Meaning, make sure you don’t waste all your elective credits on one topic, rather spread them out and take different types of classes. So maybe take a psychology elective, a business elective, and a Pre Med Elective. By doing this you are introducing yourself to different topics, and as you do so you might come across a topic you really like and it could possibly help you identify what you want to major in.

Tip #4 Interview/shadow others
Interviewing and shadowing others is one of the best ways to figure out what you want to do. Find someone doing a job you see yourself doing someday, ask them what you should major in if you wish to do what they’re doing someday. Not sure what you want to do? That’s ok. Go ahead and still ask people what they majored in, how they have been able to use their major. Don’t be afraid to ask questions, shadow others, learn from them. The more you learn from others the less mistakes you’ll be able to avoid.
