My Major Problem

Decision-making is something I struggle with. In fact, I'd rather have someone else make decisions for me.

As I sat in a crowded information session(咨詢會) at a college last summer, I was again faced with the pressure of making a decision. 26_____He then asked each of us to give our intended

major. I looked at my mother with panic.

" A major? " I said. "I can' t even decide what socks to wear to school! " I wanted to say I was undecided. But as my turn to speak approached, my confidence decreased.

27_____I watched the girl in front of me. She was searching for some obscure(鮮為人知的) major. I realized I couldn't just say undecided. So, when my turn came, I uneasily said, "I want to

major in business I could feel” liar” written all over my face.

28_____I felt ashamed. "Why couldn't I have said that?" " I thought. The admissions adviser even said that a lot of people are uncertain. That is why students have to decide until the end of the

second year.

I have no idea what I want to do with my life. All I know is that I don't want to do anything that involves blood. 29_____This isn't really narrowing it down I 've been told many people start college with one major, and graduate with agree in something totally different.

After my experience at the information session, I 've learned not to be afraid of saying I'm "undecided. "I know now that I am not the only one uncertain about future studies. I'm still experiencing a "major" problem. 30_____

Deciding whom you choose as your friends says as much about you as it does them. You may choose your friends 34_____on similar interests. You may choose them because you're opposites

of each other and find this interesting. Often, friends become "friends" because they are naturally attracted towards each other due to 35_____personalities. Sometimes it's just circumstances that

bring two individuals together who then become friends.

Whatever prompts a friendship, developing one is a very 36_____experience. This is especially true when, before you know it, a certain 37_____turns into a unique lifelong close friendship.
