I've always loved reading and writing, thus I became an English major. When I first went in I was trying to go the business/econ route, realized I hated it, and fell back to my old stand-by. Loved every minute of undergrad after that.
Though, if I were able to go back now, knowing what I know now, I would double major in poly sci, just because I'm more interested in politics now than I was before.
I still might go back to school, not sure. I've always been deathly afraid of failure or very harsh criticism in the real world so I haven't pursued my writing that much, and I haven't tried to get myself out there in the publishing world to work for a publishing house.
It's like Alain de Botton said, which I think about frequently, work finally begins when the fear of doing nothing at all trumps the terror of doing it badly. I think I'm coming around to that point and I might actually try to pursue some passions here in the next year.

I was always interested in art. Loved to draw and do cartoons and comics and stuff. Did alot of classes in high school(including clay making, airbrushing, and autocad stuff). Went to CC to for graphic design. I'm really interested in cartoons, but there aren't any art schools were i live. There is the Art Institute but heard a few things about that place. Want to switch to multi media graphic design. Could anyone vouch for that?

I graduated from my high school in the top 10% (our graduating class was 58 people) and the summer before my freshman year of college my health took a complete shyt on me, I began having seizures, like a lot of them, no doctor could figure out what was wrong.
Went into my first year of college and probably missed about half of it. I was a finance major. I ended up getting academically suspended since i missed so much school, I was dumb and thought I'd do ok but here I am.
Ended up at a CC in the same rut. finally in 2010 the seizures kind of subsided..and I was able to attend CC consistently and transfer back to the university I was attending before as a former student.
They wouldn't let me back into the business school so I had to pick another major, I picked public relations since I'd be going on to law school later (I come from a long line of lawyers). I sort of regret it, but I graduated with honors in May, crushed the June LSAT and applying for Law School this fall, I explained my UG fukkups in an addendum but idk if it'll help :|
I really wished I'd majored in economics or mechanical engineering though. sighs. But what's done is done.

dog your graduating class was about the same size as the amount of people we had in ISS any given week.

I played on a horrible varsity basketball team.
