I have a lot of things to say when it comes to being undecided.
First of all, they don't tell you this, but there are three categories of people in this major. There are the "I have too many options-s," the "I have an idea-s," and then there is the "God help me-s."
The first category is sometimes stressful. This is the group of people who want to be so many different things, that they can't decide on just one. Usually, they are the first to declare an actual major compared to the rest of the people who are undecided. I do not know much about this group to be honest, but I know that it is like standing before 100 different trails and someone tells you to pick one.
The second category is what the majority of people end up in and it is the best one. Theses are the people who do not know what they want to do, but they have an idea. They tend to figure it out pretty quickly, usually within the first year of starting school. For them, being undecided is like a placeholder. I have noticed that people in this category are not usually stressed-out and they are confident that they will find a suiting major for them.
Then there is the last group, which is the worst of all. I call this group the "God help me-s" because they are completely and totally lost. (Yes, this is the category I belong to). Very few people are placed in this category because most people have some idea of what they want to do. However, if you are like me, then you do not have the slightest clue in the entirety of the universe. Being placed in this category often makes you feel hopeless to be honest. As I always say, "there is just nothing in this world that interests me enough to do it for the rest of my life."
I am not going to lie, it is especially difficult being undecided when all of your friends have already declared a major. I often find that I am jealous of them because they know what they are doing with their lives and I do not. Something else I have noticed is that when someone from the exploratory studies decides on a major, I always ask them how they made their decision. I do this because I hope that maybe I can figure out what major I want to declare in the same way they did. But, unfortunately, I have yet to figure out the secret yet.
I could go on and on about being undecided, but I will stop there for now. I do not want to bore anyone with an excessive amount of information on one subject. But thanks for reading, if you have any ideas on how to figure out the best way to discover a suiting major, please let me, as well as everyone else, know in the comments.
Sorry if anything I write is confusing. This is all new to me and hopefully I will get better at this as time goes on.
