Problem with making choices?

Question

I am too careful about making decisions. One time, I had to make a choice to chose Algebra III or Pre-Calculus. First, I compared the teacher and their approach to each subject. Then I research the two classes in other high school coarse descriptions. After that I gather information from about 11 pre-cal students who also went through Algebra about every aspect you can imagined.

Thats not the only problem. I tend to change my mind a lot. At morning, I wanted Pre-cal and then I switched back to Algebra III. Its off and on like that every single day. When the moment comes where I sit in the chair with the school counselor. I freak out sweating and over viewing my options for the five minutes I have. At that instance I chose pre-cal and I could not sleep the next night because I thought I made a stupid choice. I woke up proud of myself that I finally took an advanced coarse

Now, I have asked the question of what college major I want to study. How do I handle this without going insane?

Answer 1

Do you have people in your life that used to scold you harshly for making bad decisions? These voices may be in your head.
Perfectionists also had people in their life who were overly critical of them. Choices are tough. And it may be impossible to know if you're making the right choice. Just take your best shot and see what happens. Don't listen to those people who should all over you. You know, you shoulda' done this and you shoulda' done that. Ask those people for answers before the fact and they usually shut up.

Answer 2

I have a problem deciding which courses to take too. I think everyone does. For college, I'm not there yet but maybe I can help. Don't you have any interests? Things you love doing and are good at? Is there a particular subject you've always gotten high marks in? Is it something you can use once you get out of college? Ask yourself these for starters. There may be more than one, but I'm sure there's one or the other that will stand out as the better choice. And once you choose, go for it and don't look back! Good luck!

Answer 3

Consider that the first two years of college are filled with the core classes. You needn't make a final decision on your choice of major for a while. Also, many people do not work in the career field of their chosen major. You could also opt to have more than one major.

Answer 4

Start in general registration or undeclared. You don't have to make a decision right away about what major you want. Take your time, carefully weigh your options; if you like, make pro and con lists about some of your choices. Then meet with your advisor, take some aptitude tests, and base your decision on what you enjoy. Don't do it for the money, don't do it for your family or friends, do it for you.
