Brief History: I am not a theatre person. Why? I am an introvert. But...I love theatre! I participated in theatre all through high school obsessively. Theatre (and music) were my life. I sang, danced, acted, played piano...the whole nine yards. When it came time to pick a major I, of course, chose theatre. Now one year later I'm realizing...I don't like "studying" theatre.
As I've watched my sister begin the college search I have experienced slight pangs of jealousy that her future is undecided...she doesn't know what she wants to do. How great?! To me, it feels as if I went down that path I was supposed to go down and that's not okay anymore. It's time to explore the thousands of possibilities the world has to offer.
I chose theatre because I loved it. I never once said, "I don't know what I would do if I wasn't doing theatre." This statement, that I have heard far too many times, finally pushed me over the edge. I may not know exactly what I would do...but the unsureness of that thought is exciting. To have endless amounts of opportunity and possibility at your fingertips and know that you could choose any one of them is what college is all about.
I am now officially majoring in "undecided" and I couldn't be happier. I can do anything I want; take any class that interests me. I am considering a major in International Studies, because it has the broadest requirements, in a variety of interesting subjects...it can offers me what I want most...a true liberal arts education.
