If I could go back in time and talk to myself, I would advise myself to think before I take any step. The reason I say this is because I have made mistakes which I regret making about the major I chose., the teachers, and the advisers. Anything you do in college stays in your transcript and than its reviewed by the Unis that your applying for. When your in a class the teacher really matters, some teachers are really strict about what they teach and how they teach. And some are really lenient. Before taking a class look at the reviews about the teachers. Before you go to a adviser to ask about what classes you should take, or what major should you choose, it is really important that the adviser knows the major you want. I had a really good adviser, but she wasn't that much informative about the major I had chosen, and ended up taking wrong classes. After making all these mistakes I have learned a lot. Now I am back on track, and always checking the classes with the Uni that I want to transfer to before taking the classes.
