this is my senior year in high school and plan to enter one of the most prestigious universities in our country. I know i'm capable of entering that university. I know what university i want to go to but i don't know what course i want to take.. it's kinda confusing and i'm lost... and i have one week left to make the decision because the application form to that university is due in a week and i need to specify my first and second choice amongst the several courses they offer... i don't know what to take... i love reading,i like literature, I write essys once in a while, im interested in science, im not good in math but not bad at it either. I like drawing but im not a "pro" but they come out nicely (really nice), i guess... im a quiet person but i'm very "industrious" when it comes to working/studying. I love learning. i like trivia. Help please?? my school does not offer any career assessment tests... i can't find any... any suggestions? i am so lost... i hope i won't have regrets.

Don't worry about it. The most common major among freshmen is "undeclared". If your school requires that you specify a major, put down something which appeals to you, knowing that you will be able to change it if you discover something else you like better along the way. Every university realizes that most incoming students are unfamiliar with many of the options available to them and won't discover their passions until they start taking classes. I don't know what the options they listed on the application form are, so I can't advise you, but rest assured that you are not tying yourself permanently to something you will come to regret, whatever you may choose.

For your first year, take a variety of courses. If you like reading, don't worry you'll do lots of it no matter what you take. Since you like literature though, take an English Lit. course. You might want to take a essay writing course no matter what you decide to take in the future. If you're interested in science take a couple of science courses, maybe some social sciences and take a fun 'drawing for non-majors' type course as well. Most courses you take during first year will count as electives later when you do decide on a major, so no worries.
When you're at university, take advantage of their career counselling office. Most schools have one.
