Why I Changed Majors


From mechanical engineering, to computer science, to digital marketing…

Why did I change majors?

At the time, it looked soo messy.

But looking back now, I’m glad I didn’t continue in engineering or computer science.

Not because those paths are bad. They just weren’t me.

And that took me time to admit.

I spent so much time and money on what I thought was a “mistake” (which ended up being the best mistake).

It’s easy to think you need to stick to the first path you choose.

You feel pressure to stay on it.

But sometimes growth is about changing your mind. Sometimes the “wrong” path brings you closer to the right one.

So if your plans are changing, let this be your reminder:

  • It’s okay to change a path.
  • It’s okay to start over.
  • It’s okay to choose what fits you, even if it confuses other people (and it will).

You do not need to have it all figured out.

You just need to initiate a change.
