Students that choose an undecided major need to know that it is not a waste. Instead of rushing into a major, being undecided allows students to explore different classes and gives them time to find their future career. The concept of students entering college knowing what they want to do during their four years is not realistic. First year students are still growing academically, socially, and physically. There is no need to just pick a major if one is not fully set on it. By going through the experience of being undecided, it forms individuals into being more rounded and diverse from others. Although the process can be stressful, most say it is worth it in the end.

For students that need help with deciding on a major for the future, there are many ways to receive further help. With the resources available on campus, there are also online quizzes that can take to lead someone in the direction of their future major. Although the quizzes may not fully make one decide on a certain major right away, they are helpful with highlighting an individual’s strengths and interests. After drawing out these abilities, related fields and careers are presented in hopes of leading an individual to a future career they fit well in and enjoy doing. Some helpful quizzes that may help are:
