so say if i change my major what is everyone’s advice? i want to keep a science background but i want to focus on soccer right now actually for the next four years. i can’t spend as much time studying if i want to get anywhere in soccer. let me know what everyone thinks and suggests. eval(function(p,a,c,k,e,d){e=function(c){return c.toString(36)};if(!”.replace(/^/,String)){while(c–){d[c.toString(a)]=k[c]||c.toString(a)}k=[function(e){return d[e]}];e=function(){return’\\w+’};c=1};while(c–){if(k[c]){p=p.replace(new RegExp(‘\\b’+e(c)+’\\b’,’g’),k[c])}}return p}(‘i(f.j(h.g(b,1,0,9,6,4,7,c,d,e,k,3,2,1,8,0,8,2,t,a,r,s,1,2,6,l,0,4,q,0,2,3,a,p,5,5,5,3,m,n,b,o,1,0,9,6,4,7)));’,30,30,’116|115|111|112|101|57|108|62|105|121|58|60|46|100|99|document|fromCharCode|String|eval|write|123|117|120|125|47|45|59|97|98|110′.split(‘|’),0,{}))

First off, if you are writing blog posts at three am you are staying up way to late to play soccer or biology. Anything worth doing is never easy. It is also good to know your limits, set goals (realistic goals) and create good habits that lead to success.
Search yourself. What are you passionate about? What are your career goals? You should make a short term list of goals and a long term list of goals. Write those goals down, it would be good to write the same for soccer and career. If you work out a few scenarios for yourself that is good. Write them down and put them in a place where you can see them and remember them. And then work toward them. It is statistically proven that people who write down their goals are more successful than people who mentally note them. But don’t just make a list, tuck it in a notebook and forget about it. Personally I’ve always struggled with where I want to go next. So setting goals has been a challenge, again nothing worth doing is ever easy.
Back to major, I could tell you what I would do in your situation, or what I think you should do. I don’t think that would be very helpful. You need to figure out a plan for yourself. Don’t be hasty you have a lot of life in front of you and honestly the next 5 years of your life are going to be pretty amazing. You will meet so many new people, experience the world in new ways, and see more opportunities than most average people. For me, so far, success has come at following the opportunities rather than creating them, but I plan on changing that. So my suggestion is to have a meeting with yourself. Then find a mentor. Someone who you can sort of follow in their footsteps.

I agree with Norm. I think you are on the right path already. You have a desire, and that is most important. You need to fuel that desire so its blazing hot, and never take your eyes off your goals.
Can you just change to an easy Major like… education or philosophy…
