Yesterday I had an appointment with my adviser at school (Northern Michigan University) and I told him I thought I might be ready to declare my major, but I was a little afraid in case I decided say a semester or two down the road it's not what I wanted to do, and so we talked, and he reassured me that if I stuck to a plan we had come up with I wouldn't be so far into these classes that it would be a set back if I later decided, but since I was 99.9 percent sure, that it would be best to get me declared and set up with an adviser in the field I'm entering. So I did it. I declared my major :D
I was so nervous and excited that I was shaking lol
It's taken me many years to finally settle on what I want to go to school for (I'm 28, going on 29 in June lol) So it was a big step lol
I am proud to say that I am now a Criminal Justice major. I am no longer undeclared And it feels great lol

Congrats! How much longer will it be until you graduate? And will you work in the CSI type labs when you have as a detective, or work in the court system?

Thanks guys.
It was a big step for me lol
I'm thinking something along the lines of loss prevention. I would love to be a police officer, but my health keeps me from being able to run, so I wont be able to graduate police school lol But I know I want to be able to help people, and the law and forensics facinate me. I originally wanted to be a forensics psychologist, but there are only like 5 of them in the world, and you have to be a law officer first lol

Congratulations! I'm also a full time college student and declaring a major is hard! I was originally an Elementary Education major but had to recently switch to History due to not passing my Education License test on time before the new semester. This just means I now have to go right to grad school in a year! It can be stressful but once you figure it out its a huge weight off your shoulder! Again, congrats! :)

It is.
Didn't help that I'm older than most of the other students. Felt like added pressure. I feel so much better having a direction in life now.
