Should you change your college major? You’re not even a full semester into college, but you feel like maybe this isn’t the right major for you. You hate everything about your core classes—the homework, the requirements, the lectures, the people, etc.

At this point in the semester you may be starting to dislike your major. You think you want to change your major, but you don’t know what to. Changing your college major shouldn’t be a spontaneous decision, but you shouldn’t wait too long either. Consider changing your college major if most of these 4 facts are true of you.

1. You don’t feel challenged.

You honestly are bored—really bored. All of your major classes are incredibly tedious. You ace every quiz and test, even when you barely try. You wish that your classes were more challenging. If you regularly think those thoughts, consider changing your major.

While your first semester shouldn’t kill you academically, you should feel like you have to work at your major classes. Your major classes should provide some of your more interesting content. You should feel like your classes are presenting new areas in which you can grow.

Side note: Be aware that your first semester classes are usually much less difficult than the rest of your college career will be. So, be sure this isn’t the only reason why you change majors.

2. You are barely passing your classes.

On the other hand, if you’re struggling to get Cs in your core classes, you should think about switching your major. College classes only get harder as time goes on.

If you’re in a medical major (e.g. nursing, biology, health science, etc.), your classes are specifically designed to weed out the weakest students. This might sound kind of cruel, but this is actually to your advantage. It lets you know that your major is not a good fit for you, keeping you from wasting valuable money and time.

However, if you’re barely passing your classes because you never study, check your priorities. Your number one priority shouldn’t be making friends, partying or relaxing. You’re at school to get an education, so you should spend the majority of your time studying.

3. You hate your hands-on experiences.

If you hate every minute of your internship or practicum experience, contemplate changing majors. At this point in your life, you will have a hard time knowing what you truly love, because you have no life-experience. So, definitely work to get real-life experience with your major.

Be in tune to your ability to execute your role well. This doesn’t mean you’ll be perfect at it, but you should find you have a knack for it. If you have a hard time performing even the most basic tasks, look for other areas in this field in which you have natural ability.

Don’t focus so much on loving your major as being energized by it. Do you dread every assessment, project, presentation or conversation about your major? If so, you should evaluate your options.

4. You are uninspired.

Maybe your major is challenging. You kind of like your practicum, but you just don’t feel inspired by what you’re studying. Some parts of your major will not fascinate you, and that’s ok. But in general, you should feel invigorated by what you’re learning.

This doesn’t mean you love every class in your major or that you only want to talk about your major all the time. But, overall, you should feel excited about the concepts you are learning. If you don’t feel this way, you should deliberate why this the case.

Changing college majors is a big deal. You don’t want to change majors over and over again. You want to find something you are skilled at and enjoy doing, but don’t overthink it. Seriously look at your options. Talk to your parents and your advisor, but don’t make a decisions on a whim.
