For all the frosh out there going through rush, getting hazed, making it to classes, and finding your way around. I just heard from a guy one month into school, and he feels like everyone is smarter, he doesn't know what to do, and just doesn't feel like he belongs. It's a rough first semester or two, that's for sure. To immediately improve your life, switch majors to something that you enjoy doing. Examples:
* listening/editing music -> recording arts degree
* doodling/drawing/web design -> graphic arts or new media
* investing -> finance program
* being outdoors -> geology, environmental science, agricultural science
* building things -> industrial design or engineering
* playing sports -> sports marketing, therapy, or broadcast communications
* playing video games -> game developor/designer
If your school doesn't have the program you are looking for then transfer. It's too early in your college career to get locked into something you dread learning about. You will be getting a degree in something that you will probably be doing for the next 45 years so pick something that you will enjoy doing! Get involved with groups around campus: student governement, intramural sports, drama clubs, whatever. You usually just have to go to their call out meetings and bam, you're in. It's the easiest way to meet people that you may enjoy hanging out with rather then the people on your dorm floor who just roam in a pack, which was cool in my case and may be in yours. Hang in there, its a good 4 year drive that leads to more fun after college.
