I love watching the weight lift off a student’s shoulders in real-time. Sometimes, through the exploration and discovery process of picking a new major, we’ll land on something that the student didn’t even know existed but makes perfect sense for their interests and goals. It’s a wonderful “ah ha!” moment.
Really enjoy this journey and take time to reflect on and appreciate everything you are learning and experiencing while you are here. It might seem daunting while you are exploring, but you are growing every day and are on your way to becoming who you are meant to be.
