Undecided About your Future?

Well, as many already know, this is the time for the SAT exams to take place. Some seniors already took all of their SAT exams and others are waiting to take their last exam Saturday November 5! It is common for seniors to be extremely stressed out during these months of the year due to SAT,TOEFL and Midterm exams, on top of the applications and decisions that are extremely relevant to our futures! How are you dealing with all these stresses?  Have you decided what you want to study yet?  Chosing what to study is quite a hard decision to make.
It turns out that the best way to choose is to pick a study that lights your fire. A recent study asked 1000 college graduates how they had chosen their studies and arrived at two very interesting findings:
  •  Study what you like and you’ll get a job you’ll like
  •  Study what you like and you’ll make more money!
And when you think of it, this is not surprising at all. If you study something that makes you happy you will:
  • Be more productive – because people who like what they do get more done
  • Be more motivated and energetic – because happy people have more energy
  • Learn faster – because happy people do just that
  • Study better with others – because happy people communicate and team-work more efficiently
You will probably even have a better time socially while you study because happy people are more fun to be around than miserable bastards. All of this means you will get better grades and have a better chance of actually getting your degree. Which again elevates your chances of landing a job in your particular field AND of being successful in that job.

  1. I agree with all this because one of the most important things while being in university is to be happy. I personally think I will be studying Bussiness Administrarion. I like it and think I will enjoy studying that. I took the SAT two times which were niether good nor bad. This saturday I am taking the TOEFL and I am very nervous because many friends told me that it is a very difficult test.
