Most people go into university knowing exactly where they want to go and where they’ll be in ten years down the line. Or at least that’s what it seems like. In reality we’re all trying to figure it out as we go. So it makes sense that somewhere along the way a few of us might realise we actually want to do study something else. That being said, it doesn’t mean it will be an easy or smooth transition, there might even be a little bit of freaking out that happens. Here’s a list of 21 thoughts that happen when you decide to change your major:
