What Course To Take Up In College?

STILL NOT SURE ON WHAT COURSE TO TAKE? WELL, THIS MIGHT HELP.

College is a big world out there. Something new. Something different. Something hard. Yes, hard. Well, not to threaten you or something. Just saying the reality. Haha. Peace! Anyway, let's go back to the topic. Choosing your course is probably your big struggle right now. I've been there and I know how frustrating and confusing it feels. Knowing that all of your friends have already decided what to take up and you are the only one left to decide. So, as a college student myself, I am here to help you. (hope it helps though) I will not suggest a course or endorse my school or whatnot. Okay, let's start :)

1. Don't be pressured.
Don't be pressured just because all of your friends have already decided which school to go and what course to take. I am pretty sure that they have thought thoroughly about that too. Breathe in. Take your time. Take your time, okay? Not waste your time. 

2. Do a research.
I might sound silly, but yes. I have researched about the course that I am taking up right now. Look for the course that match your interests. For example, you like to act;sing and dance then, why not try Theater Arts? If you have a heart for the children and you like teaching then why not go for Education? If you like numbers and all the computing and stuff, why not consider Accountancy or something related to it? Of course, asking would be a good way too. Try asking your parents or siblings. They might help you come up with a decision.

3. Choose your own.
This one might sound selfish, but yes. Choose your own. Don't choose the course just because everybody said it suits well to you. Choose the course that you will not regret, something that you would still smile at and be happy about at the end of the day. Don't choose the course just because the people who have graduated with that degree has high salaries now. Remember, not everyone after graduation gets a job. And of course, be wise on choosing.

4. Be sure.
Be sure about the course that you have chosen. You would not want to change your course in college and go back to first year college, right? So as early as now, be sure about that course. How do you know if you are already sure about it? Only you will know. (oh, how fun) 

5. Be Ready.
Since you have chosen your own course and are sure about it, then be ready. Be ready to step-up to college. Be ready for overload works and terror professors. Be ready for new friends and enemies. =))) Be ready for the change. BIG CHANGE.  Be ready for the long nights and everything in between.

College is hard , tough rather. It is tough, but it is fun. More of that freedom that you want (well, this one still depends on the school you will be in) Watch out for my next blog about college life if you are still interested. Thank you for reading! God bless :) Let me know if I have helped you in a way. Would appreciate it! :)
