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

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

Pls,answer
I know it can be kind of reassuring , but did your sexual orientation as a teenager stay with you until you became an adult or have it changed?

rocd decisions between two people
did anyone else have their rocd kick in overdrive when picking between two partners, i adore my bf and our relationship is great, but then another guy confessed his love for me while i'm with my bf, this other guy is fun but seems like bad news (i will never know for sure tho) it causes me so much distress because now i'm constantly thinking about the what if's and how life would be different if i had gone with the other guy even tho im happy with my bf now, so disheartening bc now i feel like im being ungrateful and can't fully enjoy the good im familiar with now without my brain being like: "but what if something bigger awaits me and im missing out?" "what if im not meant to live a peaceful life with a good guy?" "what if i miss the bad?" "maybe im not meant to be here" "what if i'm settling?" "what if i regret not living my 20's to the fullest?" these thoughts are the loudest when i'm bored, or stuck in routine, yk when life gets mundane, and my rocd has made it so that i don't have energy for much else, im too exhausted to do hobbies or school or anything really, im so lost, i dont really know how to find myself while also being in a relationship at the same time, idk how to balance that well, but i want to do both: be with my boyfriend and live a life i crave I crave a spontaneous life, somewhere in a walkable place, partying and exploring new places, traveling the world, meeting new people, adrenaline pumping through my veins, with a group of friends who also love the thrill, (what sucks is that the other guy brought that adventurous side of me out, and now that i cut him off idk how to bring her out again) and i'd like to think in this life i love my career and know what it is, a career that feels fulfilling , AND know that i have my sweet bf there with me, of course this stuff takes time so like my rocd wants me to somehow make one decision to make this all happen faster but its not how it works, anxiety is funny like that its not actually about the other guy, because I feel like i'd be this way with any partner, always thinking about the what ifs that come with rocd, when really i just want my current bf because this is real love and not a "maybe" or an "if", i just miss feeling alive, im just so scared of living an unfulfilling life, thought that a good relationship is like what makes you fulfilled, and it has changed my life in a good way tremendously, but i must need something else as well, i hope to find it, whatever it is
