How do you decide on your major Do you have any advice to quell the worries on someone still unsure of their passion and stressing about the uncertainty of the future??
This year, I was supposed to be a junior in high school, However, I followed a pathway that allowed me to combine my junior and senior year courses into one year, and I plan to graduate a year early. On one hand, this was an accomplishment I am proud of. However, recently I have been stressing myself out about going into college at a younger age with an undecided major. For my mental and social well-being, I feel like college is a good plan for me to develop the stability and productivity of continuing my education, not to mention that I genuinely want to continue. Nevertheless, it still becomes taxing wondering whether attending university will be resourceful or regretful in the long run. I can't help but have doubts going into a university that will be financially demanding whilst still debating what major I will choose. Any advice?

Varied field options- I'm unsure which to pursue?
Hello, Getting into college a little late in the game (nearing 40,) and I'm torn on what to focus on. I've a strong interest in Library Sciences, but also History and Conservation (e.g. Art, artefacts, physical media.) Currently will be stepping into Library Sciences as I begin college via Liberal Arts, but might change my focus to History as an undergrad. Ultimately I'd love to work in a museum, or even handle University archives and libraries- how should I narrow my broad set of interests down to help fine-tune my education towards this goal?

How do I pick classes for high school based on what I want to do with my life later on?
In the future, I plan to go into architecture. The college that I'm most likely going to attend requires that you take either trigonometry or physics in high school to even be considered. Do I take one, or do I pick both just in case? Because I am two years ahead in math and science, my 11th and 12th grade years will be available. However, my school also offers early leave to seniors. Next year, I will be going into an Algebra II course. After that, AP pre-Cal. Then I have two free years regarding math. With Science, I will be going into Chemistry next year. The year after that, environmental science. I took Physical Science last year. I would like to point out that my school also offers AP classes for high school students. My school also offers Technical Math for College and Career and Civil Engineering and Arch (two separate classes).
