As of right now I'm getting an astronomy minor but plan to live in the astro department anyway, so essentially an astronomy major who happens to get a physics degree (whereas if I majored in astro I'd get the equivilancy in physics of about a BA). I was thinking it over and decided that it's probably best to get a good physics background then go to grad school for astronomy instead of actually majoring in astronomy in the beginning. There are a few more reasons but I won't bore you all with them.

A Physics major is a field of study that focuses on the fundamental principles of matter, energy, and the physical universe. It involves the study of topics such as mechanics, thermodynamics, electromagnetism, and quantum mechanics.
A Physics major can lead to a variety of careers in fields such as research, academia, engineering, and technology. Graduates can also pursue further studies in graduate programs or professional schools.
As a Physics major, you will develop critical thinking skills, problem-solving abilities, and a strong foundation in mathematics and scientific principles. You will also gain hands-on experience with laboratory equipment and data analysis.
Like any major, a Physics major can be challenging. It requires a strong understanding of mathematics, critical thinking skills, and dedication to studying scientific principles. However, with hard work and determination, anyone can succeed in this major.
Physics is often referred to as the "fundamental science" because it seeks to explain the fundamental principles of the physical world. It focuses on understanding the laws and theories that govern the behavior of matter and energy. Other science majors may focus on specific areas of study, such as biology or chemistry.
