Is there a way for me to add a minor on the common application?

I’ve managed to get established my psychology major and my interest in pre med, but I don’t know if I can add an art minor or if I should submit a portfolio for my minor. I’m applying to 11 schools and I’d just like to make it clear I intend to be involved at whatever school I attend....

How do you really know what want to do?

I sometimes fear that maybe I'm taking the easy route. Sometimes I feel like I don't have passion or I have no direction. #future #career

What are some services at college that help students mentally and emotionally ?

Students at college are often away from their families, their support networks, so what services do colleges have to act as that network? Do colleges have services that step in when students have stress induced panic attacks of students suffer mental illnesses? #management

How do you know what you want to do with your life?

At 18 students are often forced to think about what they want to do for the REST of their lives. How do they know if what they are passionate about now will make a good career choice for them or if it they will even like their major a year later ?
