Figuring out your major can be tough. It's also perfectly natural to change your major more than once. However, I wish I would have been sure of my major before I came here. A goodn plan is always the best tool for college. If I had stuck with one major, my experience would have been much easier.

I wish I would have known how to study. I know that sounds funny, but in highschool your not taught how to take notes and study efficently. Your treated like a toddler in high school. In college nothing is given to you. You need to know how to take important notes without a presentation, just someone rambling. You also need to know how to study not only words and definitions, but situations.

I wish I knew it was going to be this fun.

I wish I was more aware of how much the social aspect of the college environment effects how well you sleep, study and prepare your course work for the next day.
