Dear double major,

Why do you keep tempting me? Why am I so drawn to the idea of making myself miserable (in no small way) next year just so that I can graduate with a double degree? What would I do with it? Why do I still kind of want it?

I would love to add a Theater major.  But it means four classes next year that I would take otherwise, that aren't particularly appealing to me.  And in so many other departments my coursework would constitute a major, which is what makes this so frustrating. 

And so tempting.

But really, I want to be happy next year, I want to have fun and I want to try something new.  And I'm pretty sure those things can't happen if I hail Mary declare a double major right before we go into senior year.  I'm pretty sure that's a bad idea. 

I'm pretty sure that the fall schedule sucks.  No one is happy with it.  We should just jump from spring to summer and back to spring again.  That would work for everybody, right?

I don't think a double major is a good idea, even if it is really tempting. 


love,
hannah
