Ms. Snark's Summer Vacation

School is out, and it's time to gear up for summer, and...

FUN! FUN! FUN!

I have lots of plans for the summer: sun, sand, surf, and se....

Enough about me.

For those of you who, in August or September, will be incoming college freshmen, it's not too late to start thinking about what the future four, five, six years will hold for you, and not just on the party! party! party! level.

Yes, some college students are taking up to six years, even more, to earn that B.A. or B.S.

I'm sure your parents are absolutely thrilled at the possibility of shelling out $20,000-50,000 + for the next six-plus years because YOU can't make up your mind about your major.

;=)

In my four and a half years of college, I had a great time, though I paid my own way and actually earned 150+ viable credits.

Though I'll be in debt for the next 20 years.

Ms. Snark's recommendation for today:

For your first year, concentrate on the core courses, which are the courses that ALL students must take. That way, if you change your major, it won't be a big deal.

For each college, the core is different, so check your college catalog.
