For anyone who is, or who has gotten into, university or community college with an undeclared major, how do you manage the impostor syndrome?

I sometimes feel like I don't deserve my admission because it was "an easy major" and not as impacted as nursing, etc. I feel embarrassed even to tell one of my friends, who didn't get into the school. When I mention my major, they start talking about how they should have chosen a less impacted major.

Hi Jade, please don't feel embarrassed . It is very normal to not be sure or passionate about a major. If going to a 4 yr. university, you won't have to declare a major for least 1-2 years. If going to a community college you can select "General Studies" as your major & explore- many students change their major a few times. Meet with a counselor to help decide on what you've come to like to help you. The liberal arts , humanities, are always good transferable courses to a 4 yr. Also, many 4 yr schools have a "design your-own-major" type of program designed to help you explore in the first year. Good luck !
