I can't decide what to major in
Lines:
Khar: There was in my program. There are all sorts of electives like that. I think I have a pretty good understanding of art, but I know I would have gone nuts only learning about art. I really enjoyed my history, literature, and biology courses and all of them are useful to my work.
Ally, you really need to decide this for yourself. Some people just absolutely know what they want to do in college, but a lot don't. I think about half of my friends switched majors at least once. Some are getting masters degrees in something completely unrelated to their bachelors degree, including some of the people who are in my program right now. (Yes, people who didn't major in art in undergrad can still go into grad art related programs.) Whatever your biggest interest is in, that's what you should go for. If you like art, do things in studio or design. If you like history, that involves things like anthropology, archeology, art history, etc. If you like speaking in another language, major in that! There's always a demand for translators or teaching english in other countries. (One of my art school friends is in Japan teaching english right now and she loves it.) Honestly, if I did my undergrad over, I'd probably have taken more bio courses or done a double major in bio/zoology.

But if you're an artist you dpn't got time to do nothing more but draw, paint, drink, write and have panic attacks.

Maybe pick the 10 that appeal most to you and do a decision matrix?

Break it down into things that will actually interest you and that you can be passionate about. There is no point going to uni to do something you hate or don't even care about. You'll end up miserable and frustrated.

My list was more like draw, print, read, write, and have panic attacks. (Don't drink all that often.) Now my list is like read, write lesson plans, read, write papers, ceramics, read, and have panic attacks.
