Sam Bryant: Freshmen Major Reflection

By Sam Bryant



Coming in to this university, I knew I wanted to pursue engineering just was not sure what type. There are various types of engineering some are similar, others are completely different. Few of my friends I came here with went in to separate engineering fields. I decided to declare a major which was chemical engineering. I researched my major of course it seemed very interesting I my opinion. I just imagined me bringing in big bucks doing something fun for a career. When I actually got in to my classes it was a rude awakening by week 3. I had a chemistry class and a math class I felt were speaking different languages conflicting with each other. When I tried to resolve this problem with an adviser I was told those classes were mandatory for my field. I had to persevere I did my best in the classes. I still was not satisfied with what I had. I did learn a lesson before committing to something as important as a major be real specific with your research (look in to some classes). If I had this advice I would have saved myself much stress.
