Every Thursday during the summer we will offer some words of advice, wisdom, and encouragement from Spring 2024 UNIV117 (Exploring Your Academic Path) students to new, incoming University Studies (UST) undeclared students.

“Although it is sometimes hard to remind myself, I have learned that there is no “perfect” timeline that you should be on. It’s easy to compare yourself to others who have a clear cut plan of what they want to do, but there are actually a lot of benefits to being undecided. I have found that being able to take a variety of classes has been very helpful in figuring out what I am interested in, and deciding what I definitely do not want to do. Majority of the time, your major does not define what your career may be, so it’s totally okay to take your time and discover your passions.”
