I’m so glad to share my experience on major choosing. Now I’m a bachelor in biological science, but in future I will pursue my master degree in another major. That’s comparative literature. A big change, right? Effectively, there’s also a big change on how I made these two choice.

When I just graduated from high school, I was innocent knowing little about university and so many majors. My choice was mainly based on my previous impression on every subject in high school. What was generally said that “liberal arts are useless” also influenced a lot.

Whereas my second choice is far more deliberate which takes a more broad perspective. After auditing courses in different departments, skimming through diverse monographs and served various internships, I learn much more about research content and paradigm of different majors. Meanwhile it comes more clear to me that what I really have passion for and be good at.

This time, three factors are dominant to be taken into consideration. First, what issues appeal to me the most. Second, the thought pattern that I’m accustomed to adopting when assimilating and processing information. Thinking about these two things help me find the suitable discipline that I can engage in for long term. Third, the imaginable gain after learning a major. This gain might be intangible but definitely necessary to personal development.

As for suggestions, I sincerely suggest you spend time thinking about what kind of life you crave and determine to lead. Widely observe, communicate and carry out, finally figure out the daily concrete things that people are doing in certain field.

I hope my sharing is helpful for you and wish you all find your suitable major!

我很高兴能分享在专业选择方面的经验。现在我是生物科学学士，但将来我将攻读另一个专业的硕士学位，就是比较文学。很大的变化，对吧？实际上，我做出这两个选择的方式也有了很大的变化。

当我刚从高中毕业的时候，我对大学和很多专业都知之甚少。我的选择主要是基于之前对高中每门学科的印象，同时“文科无用”的说法也对我产生了很大影响。

而我在（本科毕业时）的第二次专业选择则更加深思熟虑，有了更广阔的视角。我在不同的院系听不同的课程，浏览不同的专著，进行不同的实习，了解不同专业的研究内容和范式。做了这些之后，我就能够更清楚地知道了自己真正有热情和擅长去做的事情。

选专业需要考虑三个主要因素。首先，什么问题最吸引我。第二，我在吸收和处理信息时习惯采用什么样的思维模式。思考这两件事可以帮助我找到合适的，并能够长期从事的学科。第三，在学习了一个专业后，可以想象得到的收获。这种收益可能是无形的，但对个人发展绝对是必要的。

至于建议，我真诚地建议你花时间思考一下你渴望和决定过什么样的生活。广泛的观察、沟通和实施，最终找出人们在特定领域所做的日常的和具体的事情。

希望我的分享对你们有帮助，并希望你们都能找到合适的专业！
