By:Diane Regner Masong 1SM

         College can be sometimes so scary to tackle about. Being a stranger in a new environment is not really a joke especially for those students who are planning to proceed in college. College was sort of stressful and difficult because it is the time that you will learn how to be independent and alone in a new place. You have to make many adjustments so that you can get through it. All at once, you will experience new things from your surroundings. It is the time that you will have your anticipation and wonderful discoveries which caused a great impact to yourself.

         On the other hand, in entering college you have to choose your degree. It is time that you have to decide of what course you will have to take. Some may think about of who are they in the future. Of what will their career be? And what will they have to do to reach their ideal career. For young college student, choosing what to major in is a difficult choice. In fact, many college student change majors at least once in their college career. Maybe because they have realize that the course they take recently suitable for their knowledge.

          For instance, choosing a college degree is not easy to decide. Consider these three steps in making a decision. First, you have to search for yourself. Understanding yourself and what you are good at is the key on finding the right major.  It will help you to view of what course you are interested in and set your personal goals in life. Second, considering the money matters. Money is the big issue if it talks about studying. If you don’t have money you cannot continue to study. It will tell you of what course you can afford or cannot afford. Third is your commitment. You need to commit yourself in your course. Being committed in your course helps you to strive hard in reaching your personal goals.    

           Choosing a college degree is a lifelong decision. It talks about your career in the future, about the life you will going to engage in. You only know what your capabilities are. Choose a course that is suitable for you. Just wait and continue to examine and explore yourself. Of course if it is God’s will, you can find the right course for you.
