5 Reasons Why You Shouldn’t Stress About Choosing Your Major
1. Freshman year is mostly introduction and core classes. When I was a freshman I had to take all core and introduction classes. I was interested in science (more specifically premed) however I had to take classes like art history and writing for college. I was in no way ever going to be an art historian however I still sat through them because college says these core classes are required. I also took introduction to music which was interesting because the only instrument I’ve ever played was the recorder I was forced to play in third grade.

First Day of College at Pasadena City College
It's hard leaving the people you have known all of your life. The same people you have known since kindergarten. The friends you have made. The memories you had with them. Then, when you become a senior in high school, that's when you start to realize you will probably never see these people again. But it's okay. Because everyone needs to go to the next step in their life. If it's college, working full-time, taking a year off, or even doing nothing at all. This is where everyone grows to become who they will be in the future. And my future is attending Pasadena City College.

Benefits of Having a College Degree
When we consider going to college, there are many things that can convince us to go but also many things convincing us not to go to college. Sometimes when we are thinking about going to college we don’t think about the benefits we can receive from a degree. We tend to focus on the negative things that can come from going to college.

What It's Like Going Back to College in Your 20s
Have you heard someone say, "it's too late for me to go back to college, I'm too old now?" I've heard this plenty of times, usually accompanied by, "which is why I want you to go back to school." Trust me, I get it. It's scary watching someone do something you did that you now regret and wish you could change, so naturally you want to help that person not make your same mistakes. But, here's the thing: we're not the same people. Who's to say that if I never set foot in another college I'd end up as a nobody at a dead-end job? Who's to say that if I never went back to college I wouldn't be able to run my own company and create something amazing? Who's to say that if I never went back to college I wouldn't have a good life?
