Hello all,
I am in desperate need of some guidance for my upcoming years in college, so any input and opinions on what I should do to make my decision would help a ton.
I'm currently a senior in High School and have been accepted into a University that I will be going to this fall. It's very important that I make a decision as early as possible for my circumstances. I need help on deciding on what type of major I want to pursue. I love astronomy and I've even taken a small online astronomy course and had a huge interest throughout the whole semester. The problem was the math. Math and even science have been my worst subjects all of my schooling career (not terrible, but just not up to par). Although I have a strong aptitude in literature, it's not what I'm passionate about. I'm fascinated by physics and astronomy, but it just takes me some extra time to learn the equations and whatnot. Another thing against me is that I barely remember the math I've learned throughout High School and my science classes were a joke. I didn't take a math and science course this year because it wasn't required to graduate (but now it's biting me in the ***). I really think that if I study hard enough and push myself into my math courses because I enjoy it so much, I could succeed, but every course description I read says I should have great background knowledge in physics, mathematics, and chemistry.
My dream is to one day become an astronomer, but maybe I should think realistically and go into something that I could accomplish without a hassle and without taking extra courses to get caught up.
So now I ask for your help, should I pursue what I enjoy, or what I'm actually good at?
To all who reply, thank you.
