So very excited, I just have to share.

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

Congratulations ... my son was going to college to get his BS in Criminal Justice, but half way through put it on hold and joined the U.S. Marine Corp.

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

sounds like a very interesting and good field to get into. Congrats on the decision

Being a full time college student myself I can understand your excitement! Congrats and good luck with your schooling!

Thanks everyone. Im just waiting to hear who my new advisor will be so I can go talk to them about what sort of career I would be best suited for =)

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.
