    Major Decisions: Taking the “Un” Out of Undecided

    When you first arrive on your university’s campus at the ripe age of 18, the world is your oyster. You have yet to begin your four years of college education, which have a heavy hand in shaping your future. To quote Remember Me, you are most likely undecided… about everything.

    The Starting Line: I’m a Little Lost

    I am sort of floundering right now. I mean, high school was easy. All throughout high school, I had one goal: Get into a good college.

    My Freshman Year: Learning To Beat The Clock

    Over the past three months, I’ve found myself falling victim to a peril of college life that most don’t consider an issue until it hits them.
