Hi Trey! Check this out:
"About 80 percent of students in the United States end up changing their major at least once, according to the National Center for Education Statistics. On average, college students change their major at least three times over the course of their college career.Mar 15, 2013"
I would like to suggest that you go to www.mynextmove.org to take the career assessment to narrow down your interests.

You don't want to be in college forever so make sure you do all of your pre-reqs first and then decide on a major and or change your major. Once you start taking upper level courses it is more difficult to change your major.

Hello,
As people we're constantly growing and evolving to be better versions of ourselves. If you have a change of hearts in Uni, just follow what your gut's telling you. There're no rules about how many times you can change your mind about what you want to do or become. My advice to you is to just step back, do a self assessment, define what you want to do on short/Long run, and break your ultimate goal into small ones to tackle all issues and obstacles one at a time.
