What can you do with a History Major?

Become a doctor apparently.

So I finally decided that I want to be a history major. You might say, "How will you ever go to med school now?" To that I'd say you don't actually have to be a bio or chem major to go to med school and eventually become a doctor. For someone who already knows this, what you may not know is that this is not common knowledge. My mom didn't know this and she knows a lot of stuff(lol). I haven't declared it yet which, hopefully I can do soon. I actually need to go to the History department and talk this out so this is a good reminder.

Why a history major? Because I like history,I cant actually stand sciences, and I don't want to be an english major. I want to know more about something than anyone I know (my age) and since I don't personally know any history majors, I'm on my way to achieving that goal =] Also, I'm going to have plenty of time to spend with the sciences when I get to med school.

I really am kind of excited about this and anyone who's talked to me recently has probably already heard and seen that. I googled it and it turns out that lots of pre med kids do it and its a really interesting thing to have on a med school application.

Moving on...

Today for a moment I was walking and I thought to myself how being here in Bing with other people and having conversations that mean something, makes me feel real. I don't know if this makes sense but for most of my life, I'd had like fun, random, meaningless conversations and things with my bests and whenever we had a conversation that actually meant something it was like a big deal and we all knew it. I don't know about them but for me, those moments held a special place in my heart because I knew they would only come along every once in a blue. So today I was just walking back to my room from class and for some reason I just had this overwhelming feeling that I mattered and that I was a real person who means something. It was kind of nice.

Maybe this is what it feels like to become an adult...

It also made me think of how when i was a younger, like 7 or 8yrs old, I would spend a lot of time looking in the mirror (don't think i'm vain yet) and thinking about how amazing it is that I was a living human person. It kind of blew my mind. I don't know why but I did it a lot. Maybe it was because I was kind of a sickly kid and by that point I'd known how important and fragile life is.
Just a thought.

I hope everyone (who could) went out and voted today. This is definitively the most important election, not only of our nation's history, but of our generation.
