Hi,
I'm a first-year business student at home and I'm so lost. I feel that I'm not entirely interested in this degree. This isn't the first day I've had doubts about it, as last semester I was worrying a lot about it.
One of the main reasons is the fact that I just don't know what I want to do. I'd rather invest my time and energy into something that I am interested in and would know I want to do in the future.
Towards the end of school studying business, I found it boring and still continued to pick it for university. There were parts of it in school I was interested in like marketing which is why I picked it but back then my head was stuck in a book nearly 24 hours a day and now my interest in school comes and goes and definitely isn't the same as it used to be. I just didn't know what to do and didn't want to bug the teachers for help.
Also, the fact of going down by myself knowing no-one absolutely terrifies me. I've never been a fan of social situations as I developed social anxiety over the past few years however, I have overcome it, but I don't know what to say in social situations especially strangers.
This year was general business and next year I specialise in marketing. Completing coursework has just been a chore the whole time, I really haven't been enjoying much of it. The coursework and tests I had last semester were all done at the last minute and I would have never been like that before. I would be an organized person which is making me think because I find it less interesting my motivation levels are just not there. I have three deadlines due for next week and the week after and hasn't clicked with me yet that they are due.
I'm just really unsure what to do. I don't know what other courses I could see myself doing as I change my mind quite a bit and have no idea what career I could see myself having. If I change to another course I mightn't like it and wish I had stayed at this one. Would changing courses be a stupid decision?
I'm just wondering if anyone has any advice or been in a similar boat?
Thank you
