How to Choose your College Major
Let's be real, college is a large financial and emotional investment in your future. My advice when it comes to choosing a major is that
if
you don't have something you are passionate about, choose a major with job stability.
If you're reading this newsletter, chances are you're looking for scholarships and already know the key to winning them is the essay. You probably have a pretty good idea of what makes a good essay, but that doesn't mean it's easy to actually write one. So I've put together some basic tips on how to write a great scholarship essay.
1. Be honest and authentic.
Scholarships are meant to reward people who have done something special with their lives: maybe they wrote the world's best poem about butterflies, or maybe they built a robot that can climb stairs. The point is that these things are impressive because they're real—so make sure your essay reflects that
.
2. Make sure your essay is personalized and relates to the topic at hand.There's no point in writing an essay about how much you love playing tennis if you don't play tennis (or at least know someone who does). The more personal your story is, the better chance you'll have of getting noticed by readers who want to help fund it.
Bonus Tip: You don’t need to have done extraordinary things to write a great essay or have a great essay topic. You can focus on what extraordinary things you want to do in the future and how you're working towards that.
