Hi there!
My name is Deep Shah, I'm going to be a senior next year. I used to be a Biochemistry major, but realized I don't really like chemistry all that much. I switched to being a Biology major. I picked up a Graphic Design minor, because I thought it'd be nice to have it under my belt since I've been doing graphic design since middle school.
I dropped the Biology major, and decided to go with a Graphic Design major (BA, not BFA... BFA would've been nice but I picked up the major too late). I'm still a science geek/nerd though, I avidly read Nature, Scientific American, Science, etc.
My motivation for this course is to achieve a "C" (composition) credit for my gened, but also to have fun doing it. Social media is not simply something I read about every day, it is something that adversely affects my daily life. I have accounts with many of the common social media websites: Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, Digg, Youtube, Flickr, StumbleUpon (the list goes on). The future of my career as a graphic designer rests on my ability to acquire new knowledge (the field is constantly expanding and changing) as well as to network with other designers with different strengths with whom I can work. Of course, social media is not the only form of media that exists, but it is increasingly becoming more relevant and carries more weight.

WOW! I understand completely how you feel about declaring a major. It baffles how I am supposed to define my interests under a major. I was originally a Business major. I loved and enjoyed it very much. I like the marketing aspect more than the books. I am sure I will never find joy in my own accounting, but I do kind of enjoy auditing someone else's work. But now I am pursuing biology because I need to be employed outside not indoors balancing books. I need hands on activities so I will see how long I stay interested in biology.
