My Major Problem

Decision-making is something I struggle with. In fact, I'd rather have someone else make decisions for me.

As I sat in a crowded information session(咨询会) at a college last summer, I was again faced with the pressure of making a decision. 26_____He then asked each of us to give our intended

major. I looked at my mother with panic.

" A major? " I said. "I can' t even decide what socks to wear to school! " I wanted to say I was undecided. But as my turn to speak approached, my confidence decreased.

27_____I watched the girl in front of me. She was searching for some obscure(鲜为人知的) major. I realized I couldn't just say undecided. So, when my turn came, I uneasily said, "I want to

major in business I could feel” liar” written all over my face.

28_____I felt ashamed. "Why couldn't I have said that?" " I thought. The admissions adviser even said that a lot of people are uncertain. That is why students have to decide until the end of the

second year.
