Like most college freshmen, when I first started UK, I wasn't really sure what I wanted to major in or what I wanted to do with my life, and I'm still not absolutely sure. There are so many options and choices for career paths, it becomes hard for college students to make a decision. There are so many majors to explore at UK, which is great because you could major in just about anything, but it's not so great for someone undecided like I was, because there are so many options you can’t decide which to choose or even how to make that decision. Luckily for me, I was able to take the A&S Wired Career Hope and Exploration class taught by Ms. Charlotte Anderson, which is intended to help undecided or unsure students like I was choose both a major and career path by helping them with their decision making skills.  Last year in the course, I examined my interests, personal values, and skills through various exercises, which has given me a clearer understanding of what I'm looking for in a career. I think the most important aspect of the class was how it has changed my process in decision making – not just for choosing a major or career – but learning how to make a good decision for all those important decisions in life. I would definitely recommend to this class to anyone who is struggling with choosing a major or career, or just wants to be become a better decision maker.
