Workshop2: Choosing a Major

Michael Tran and I attended the Workshop called, Choosing a Major today too, after attending the 1st workshop.

This workshop gave us advice, myths, facts, and ways of choosing a major or concentration.

During the workshop, we are told about how activities we enjoyed as a child, personality, values, skills/ abilities, and interests/ passions,can help affect our decision.

1 of the papers we received describes the 6 groups of careers(Realistic, Conventional, Investigative, Enterprising, Social, and Artistic) there are and what careers relate to each.

I always feel that whatever major i choose, I will "determine my future career path forever". My current major wasn't actually my decision, and with this workshop, it helped informed me of ways to help myself decide, and stating that about "80% of workers in the US are in a field not related to their college major and switched their major at least once.

Workshop1: Stressin' Out

Michael Tran and I attended the Workshop called, Stressin' Out today (10/27).

The workshop was from 12:00pm-1:00pm, it talked about the different kid of stresses there are, how to relax, and places on campus that can help you with your stress.

They identified the different causes of stress, like eating more/less, less sleep, or chest pain.

Places we can go on campus to get help deal with stress are like the health office and the guidance counselor office.

Also, some techniques they mention that can help relieve stress are aromatherapy, meditation, and breathing.

What i gained was the knowledge of the affects of stress on myself, where i can go for help, and some techniques to reduces it because I've been stressing on my academic English since if i don't pass the finals with 8 or higher than I'll be kick out of SJSU and have to start over at a community college
