Architecture, Marine Biology, Philosophy, Law, or Painting seem to be my only interests in college. Those are all pretty different, and have nothing to do one another. I guess I'm just interested in a lot of different fields. I've already gone for a year of painting, I like it.. however I don't believe I would ever choose that as a majour, just because (depending upon the school) there are strict guidelines as to what you can paint. That, I do not like.
I took a semester in Philosophy and Ethics. I absolutely loved them. I'm not sure if it was just my teacher or the material, but I thought those were the most fascinating classes I have ever taken. They were usually about three hour lecture classes, twice a week. I can't really ever sit for that long, but I loved reading about all the material. I actually went and bought a few books on my own just because I was so into it all. The only downfall about majouring in Philosophy is that all I would have to fall back on is Teaching. Well, I'm not the teaching type. I don't want to do it, and I certainly do not have the patience for it.
Marine Biology is something I've been looking into more and more probably for about a year now. I don't know what it is, but it's all completely fascinating to me. Not so much oceanography.. which the two are very different but I can't even begin to try and explain how. But things like.. deep sea ecology, or even underwater archeology (which is different from marine biology but still having to do with the ocean). The oceans are all so vast and unexplored. I think it would be amazing if I had the opportunity to take a job that allowed me to find out all of what was down there.
Architecture is a field that I have always been interested in. I'm not too sure why, maybe because I'm pretty good in math, but there's something about me designing and constructing a building that will(hopefully) stand the test of time and that people, even after I die, will utilize it.. is a nice thought. Granted, most people do not walk in a building and say to themselves "hm I wonder who built this building and what their intention was for it" I do, but I may be one of few who do that.
Either way, you can take philosophy anywhere. I can majour in that at my current college. Marine Biology is tricky. I would either have to go a university in MD, or move all the way to southern VA by the water. (Which would probably be really nice, but sort of secluded feeling) Architecture is only offered at VA Tech, which I do not want to go there. The University of MD has a top program there, but out of state tuition is so much. Maybe I just need to move to Maryland gain residency so I can pay in-state.
