No one should work at a job she hates - but majoring in a useless degree is also not the greatest idea. I applaud the very idea that students should balance these two issues.

Even after living in the halls for a few years I remember things that I need. I still do not have a tool kit and when I am running around looking for someone with a screwdriver I wish I did. Some other things that could be on the list would be batteries, microwave, first aid kit and an extension cord. I can never seem to remember that I need batteries when I go to the store, so it is great when I can get a larger pack from home and I just have them in a drawer for when I need them. Great post.

We agree that fitting the right major for you is more important than making the decision early. One way to think about your choice in major and school is thinking about your personality and learning style. For example, are you naturally skeptical or not?
