My advice is to pick something you love learning about. You will be dedicating a lot of time to it and it helps if you genuinely like what you’re putting your time into. I originally picked neuroscience but I hated it. I did not enjoy learning about it. It was just too hard. Then I switched to psychology which I LOVE. I also picked up a minor in fashion and design after taking a design course I really liked. It’s really about choosing things you know will make you happy.

Honestly when I entered college I had no ifea what to pick. I like writing but people encouraged me to sing and at times I wanted to be a lawyer or firefighter, I was all over the palce🤣. But I decided to take a class for a potential major (Creative Writing), and I found that I didn’t think of the homework as homework. I enjoyed submitting pieces and getting feedback and people enjoying my work. It just became natural that I wanted to continue it. So my advice (if that’s what you’re looking for) would be to narrow down some possible majors and pick a course from those to try it and see. If you have absolutely no clue what you wanna do that’s ok too! Look through the courses and if you see any that interest you, try it out! Idk if everyone’s decision of what to major in is natural or not, but if the homework doesn’t really feel like homework, maybe that’s a sign! Hope this helps!

I had originally went to university as a Bio-Med major but realized it wasn’t me. I shortly switched to Psychology because I remember really enjoying the subject when I was in high school so decided to go for it as a major 😊

I originally picked dental hygiene because I had no idea what I wanted, except to impress my parents. I quickly realized that it was not for me, i felt nauseous at the sight of anything in the mouth and I couldn't take it 🤣. My advice, take your gen eds first if you're undecided. That way, you have transferability to a 4 year uni. I am now about to graduate with two associate degrees cum laude, and then go into skincare and hopefully become a medical esthetician 🤞 Take as much time as you need to pick something you like, IT IS OKAY to not know and change your major. Wish someone would've told me that. Best of luck hun

help :(
so I feel like I’m finally having an academic comeback after years of failing & I’m currently looking at pinterest for that motivation. there are videos that are helpful tools for college students like websites that read chapter books and summarize/create notes & it seems pretty cool. but I somehow deny using those tools bc it feels like I’m cheating. my mind is like, “no, you will study the TRADITIONAL way (which idek what it rlly is)” I don’t know why my brain is doing this to me. I feel like these apps could be beneficial to my learning. what’s ironic is that I literally googled all my assignment answers for one class at the last minute to get some grades in. this is a retake class but because I was so behind on everything, I just looked up the answers. so that really does count as cheating. like bruh 😭 I did it to save myself from a bad class grade. I’m definitely going to study the rest of this semester. I have officially began taking notes and actually doing schoolwork. someone help me!!! these videos look like great resources but my mind is telling me otherwise. another thing is that I’m still lost on what to major in. I keep changing career choices and my head’s gonna explode. there are so many things I wanna say but I don’t want the post to be long. I just want to get good grades and understand the material!!! someone help me >n<

Determining sexuality with SOOCD
Anyone who has had sexual orientation OCD since the “dating age” (middle school/high school)— how did you ever determine your sexuality? I don’t want reassurance because I understand our experiences may be different. I’m just curious— did you try boys and girls? Did you just find your person and know? I started having SOOCD at age 16 and I’m now 28. OCD has ruined my ability to date more than anything else. I feel like it stole my chance at love. I’ve had three long-term situationships with men. I adored them but they were also toxic because I think I subconsciously didn’t believe I deserved better. I felt that if I knew the relationship wouldn’t work because of fundamental differences, at least it was okay that I couldn’t fully be present in the relationship. Not sure if this makes sense, but I’m just grieving that part of my life I missed out on.

Fun question! 😊
Not sure if this is OCD or ADHD or both, but sometimes I get really stuck on a topic to the point that it's obsessive and somewhat debilitating but still fun. Does anyone else get caught up on random topics (in a slightly unhealthy way)? This part of my mental health issues is one I don't mind as it has contributed a lot of joy to me through different fandoms and groups in my life. Just curious what obsessions (positive) you guys have and if you consider it a blessing, a curse or a blerse lol
