this is what i have been considering the past 24 hours.
i am currently a psychology major with a sociology minor; however, i think i might do this:
psychology major
sociology/advertising/french cluster (to take the place of a minor)
in order to have clusters become a minor, you only need two of them, and if i have to pick two, i would do sociology and advertising. BUT, with all the french classes i have taken up at school, i only need one more to fulfill a french cluster, so what the heck. why not do three.
the reason for this change is this: i have always been interested in criminal psychology, a field in which sociology would be very useful. but lately, i have been so interested in my roommate's advertising classes and found that a majority of psych majors actually go into advertising. who knew they played such a big role in the way things are advertised? not i. i think it has the potential to be incredibly fun and would open up a lot more options career wise in the future. and who doesn't love someone who speaks french.
i am a bit distressed about my future. i need 19 more classes if i make these changes. that's three semesters if i kill myself and do 7 classes one semester (at least 20 credits) and 6 classes the other two. this has the potential to destroy me and my social life. alas, i think it must be done.
that's what's been going through my mind lately.
oh, not to mention i am so excited! i am a part of a research group this semester and in a few weeks we get to go present at the RMPA (rocky mountain psychological association) conference up at school! SO MUCH FUN. and it can't hurt to have it on a resume... we are studying when students change their majors and reasons for why they change. so far, it's been interesting.
i also love cocoa bean. amber & jesseca, you need to go there and get the love potion frappe. just saying.
