MyMajor Problem

　　Decision-making is something I struggle with. In fact, I’d ratherhave someone else make decisions for me.

　　As I sat in a crowded information session (咨询会) at a college last summer, I was again faced with the pressure ofmaking a decision. 26  He then asked eachof us to give our intended major. I looked at my mother with panic.

　　“A major?” I said. “I can’t even decide what socks to wear toschool!”

　　I wanted to say I was undecided. But as my turn to speak approached,my confidence decreased.  27  I watched the girl in front of me. She wassearching for some obscure (鲜为人知的) major. I realized Icouldn’t just say undecided. So, when my turn came, I uneasily said, “I want tomajor in business.” I could feel “liar” written all over my face.

　　  28  I felt ashamed. “Why couldn’t I have saidthat?” I thought. The admissions adviser even said that a lot of people areuncertain. That is why students have to decide until the end of the secondyear.

　　I have no idea what I want to do with my life. All I know is that Idon’t want to do anything that involves blood.  29  Thisisn’t really narrowing it down. I’ve been told many people start college withone major, and graduate with a degree in something totally different.

　　After my experience at the information session, I’ve learned not tobe afraid of saying I’m “undecided”.I know now that I am not the only oneuncertain about future studies. I’m still experiencing a “major” problem. 30
