[yorkulife]

Hi, I just want to ask how do I shift my major? I am a first year Bcom student and I am thinking of shifting to Human Resources. Thank you in advance.

Hi there,

You can apply for a program change request here: https://myacademicrecord.students.yorku.ca/program-change If you submit your request by/before March 1st, your degree and program change should go through by June 1st.

Did you take out student loans? I'm thinking about switching my major to anthropology with a focus on archeology from medical assistanting.

Greetings!

I did take out student loans, especially because the first institution I went to was ridiculously expensive. Now I'm at a less expensive university so I don't need the loans and have been able to pay them off with the help and generosity of my parents.

I do know some people who managed to get their undergrad degree without any debt by getting scholarships and participating in special programs. There are lots of options and there should be someone at your school that you can talk to regarding the best financial plan for your individual circumstances.

Best of luck!

Personal Update

I have officially changed my major and gotten a new advisor! I think I’m going to be a lot happier where I am now than I was. Now to choose an area of focus...

I’m so ready to change my major to Studio Art. Biology, it’s been NOT fun, just really stressful and I wasn’t passionate about what I was doing. Time to stop thinking about the “what if’s” the “what could’ve been” “should have” And think about the I AM, I WILL, and I CAN. Just be passionate about what you want to do. I am a firm believer of Going For It and Do What You Like.

I'm back!!!

Oh my god. I haven't beeb updating here ever since the second half of last year D:. Life got busy, and there were some life-changing things I had to go through. One of them is finally deciding to change my major. Don't get me wrong, I appreciate and know my major's contribution to society. However, I'm the type of person who cannot live without passion. I firmly believe in pursuing what your heart tells you (although I am very amazed at people who excel in fields they don't have too much of an affinity of). There were so many things I went through just because I didn't love what I was doing. I may be a little late, but I've finally decided to get out. I'm eyeing Social Work or Family Life and Child Development as my next course. But, for now, I have to focus on getting my grades as high as I can to be eligible for major shifting. I would sincerely like to thank everyone who's still following me. I'll do my best to properly update this blog on my journey towards doing what I love. If I have to start again to get there, I will. My name's Erris, now 19 years old. I'm an ENFP who's changing my major. 💕 Love you all. In the meantime, I'm going to cry over the struggle I'm having with enlisting for subjects D:. I still can't enroll because my subjects haven't reached the unit requirement for enrollment. Wish me luck!!

Dear Interior Design, 

Dear Interior Design, you’ve been kind and great to me in the past year. I’ve explore photography, filmography, trying making maquettes, how to deal with a client etc. However in the past year I think I should just considered you as my hobby not as my career pathways. I know my weaknesses, I am not good using the computer graphics things. I really have difficult time doing it, considering it though I don’t hate you I still love you so much. I fail, I pass and happy for you, I bleed, cry, and sweat for you. I lovee you Interior Design, but I don’t think you fit me well for my career. I love you I don’t hate you but I think its time to say good bye from each other heheeheeh I am going to enjoy looking at art still, since its something that I love, something that I really passionate about, but I am just going to explore you from another perspective not from University. I know that I made my parents disappointed but I just don’t fit well with the whole curational ideas/theme from the project given I hope you forgive me Interior Design I love you and I am going to follow you, but just not from University

So I'm like 99% sure I'm gonna be changing my major from psychology to vet tech because tbh I love animals so much and I have always wanted to work with them anyways. I wanna be an animal behaviorist and that would be easier to do with a vet degree than a psych degree. I just need reassurance that I'm doing the right thing
