Hi Melanie! Great video! I am currently a senior in highschool and I am really stressed about my college decision! My problem is I am super indecisive and I don’t know what career I want to do. I jump from criminal justice to psychology to art! Do you have any advice on how to figure out what major to do? I am considering going to a Christian private university or a public university. Congratulations on graduating!
