How do I choose a major before applying to college?

Hi everyone! I'm a high school junior feeling a little stressed about choosing a major before applying to college. How do I decide what I want to study? Is it okay if I'm not sure yet? Any advice would be really helpful. Thanks!

Hello! I completely understand that choosing a major can be a stressful decision. From my own experience with my child, I can share some advice that might help. First, it's completely okay if you're not sure about your major yet. Many students enter college as undecided majors and explore their interests during their first year or two. To help you decide, consider making a list of your interests, strengths, and passions. Research potential majors related to those areas and see what kind of careers they might lead to. It's also helpful to talk to people who work in fields you're interested in, or even your school counselor for guidance. Another option is to look for colleges that have strong programs in multiple areas you're interested in, so you have the flexibility to change your major if needed. Remember, it's not uncommon for students to change majors during their college years. Just stay open-minded and take your time to explore your options. Good luck!
