Tomorrow help: I’m starting my first year of college this fall. - Help.com



This post left anonymously

I’m starting my first year of college this fall.

My major is biology in the pre-professional program. I hope to become an optometrist one day…I think. I scored a 21 on the math part of the ACT causing me to have to take two math classes before I can even take the one required for my major my freshman year. I’m also trying to study for the chemistry placement test that I have to take tomorrow at orientation, and if I don’t pass that I will be playing catch up in chemistry as well. Here’s the thing, I’ve never enjoyed math or science. I really loved Biology and Earth Science, but that’s it. English has always been my calling, I scored a 32 on the English part of the ACT and I’ve always excelled at it. I know it shouldn’t be, but the money does play a huge factor. I don’t know if I’m cut out for the major I’ve selected and its putting enormous stress on me, and I’m not even in college yet! ..Help!!

it will get better when you start, like i get stressed durring mid terms and finals, also when thinking about the classes i still have to take, i take it one class at a time.

granted it took me almost 60 credit hours to figure out what major i realy wanted to pursue.

good luck

You’ve got to find a way to follow your dreams… If English is your true passion, it will never leave you, until you do something about it.
