For all you guys who are going to college, what's your major?</p>

And out-of-college guys, what was your major?</p>

And middle schoolers/high schoolers, what would you like your major to be when you go to college?</p>

</p>

I'm currently in Computer Science, and not really liking it. I'm doing okay in all the computer classes, but I suck at calculus, and it's all getting boring to me. I think I might switch over into Journalism or Business Management.</p>

I am definitely going to major in Journalism.</p>

I want to take a double major, but what that ends up being depends on what college I go to (and even then, I don't know completely).</p>

Columbia provides plenty of fun opportunities for double majors, I could see my 2nd major if I go there being in Animation, Fiction Writing, Game Design, with a minor in Web Technology and/or Writing for TV</p>

Texas, I could see myself getting a 2nd major in Business (not sure what though).</p>

At Northwestern I could see myself getting a 2nd major in Political Science, and a minor in Russian.</p>

I really have no idea.</p>

</p>

I think I'd be a great Math professor. But I also want to be a doctor.</p>

Are you really really good at math? Like, every part of math, including Calculus? I've seen dreams crushed after taking Calculus.</p>

 

[#1_War_Poet_ForLife]

Still in Algebra II, so no experience with that.</p>

It seems to me that Journalism is the most interesting career out there. You could go in so many different directions with it. Of course, I'd like to become a sports journalist primarily, but I wouldn't mind writing about just about anything else.</p>

What type of things would you wanna write about? Sports, politics, society, etc...?</p>

 

[GMJ]

Hey mynets what type of doctor do you want to be? I'm currently a psych major who wants to go to med school to be a psychiatrist.</p>

Ah, I see. Well, if you're acing that, and you're a hard worker, I can't really see any reason why you'd have trouble in Calculus. It's pretty tough, though.</p>

Personally, I hate it, and I'm not sure I completely understand it. Algebra and Geometry were easy for me, and then I came into Calculus...and I'm pretty lost.</p>

 

[#1_War_Poet_ForLife]

Possibly general practice. Maybe neurology. Nothing to do with the mouth (dentist, orthodontist).</p>

Yeah, I have a 95 (half the class is failing). I'd have a 98, but I forgot to do a problem (I still had 10 minutes left).</p>

Wow, half the class is failing? Sounds worse than my high school. And my school has ALOT of dumb kids, it's all-around one of the worst schools in the area.</p>

Then again, I'm sure the school you go to has really high standards, and requires much, much more hard work to pass the class.</p>

Sounds good, though.</p>

Yeah, I hate Calculus, but I think that has more to do with us having daily assignments every day (since its under a high school context). I'm sure I wouldn't hate it as much if we didn't have so many assignments. If we just took an exam at the end of the semester, I'm sure I'd love it a lot more. I have a B in there, and am going to be stuck at that for this semester. I was working under the assumption that the final counted for around 40% of our grade, so I wasn't focusing too much on the quarter grades. I had like an 88.9% first quarter, and an 80.1% 2nd quarter. Final actually only counts for 10% : ( If I get my grade up to 89 percent in there, by swinging a 100 on the final (I always get one or two wrong on the math finals....getting above 95% on pretty much every math final). I just need to get my crappy assignment grade back up : D</p>

1. What is your favorite sport?</p>

Basketball, by far.</p>

2. What is your favorite non-sports topic?</p>

Writing, although I guess that almost cancels out because I only enjoy writing about basketball.</p>

3. Provide one random fact about yourself?</p>

I eat muffins with a fork out of a bowl.</p>

8 people have dropped it. 2 more are.</p>

I haven't studied for that class. :/ I'm finding it easy.</p>
