before starting college i seriously considered majoring in these:
- photography
- psychology
- neuroscience
- music
... & settled for Biology, even though i got a C in highschool with it (i figured i loved dissecting and working with my hands...and that should see me through).. my dream, naively, was to become a neurosurgeon. had no idea you had to become a doctor first! lol... after majoring in Biology for 3 years, i found myself in the darkest hole (one class jeapordized my few years of working my GPA up from a 2.4 average...), that i seriously considered switching to:
- social science
- photography
- recording arts
