I don't know if i want to Major on Architecture or Int. Design ? Help !?
Well im beginning my Junior Year in HighSchool and its gonna be the year where I have to decide what i want to major on for the rest of my whole long life, and im thinking about Architecture or Interior Design but i still dont actually know which would be better. I'm still thinking about both Int.Design and Architecture because i'm not that big of a scientist or a math geek and i know you have to know alot of math to go for the ones i want. But then again i also wonder if in the Universities they can maybe help you with your math knowledge and maybe you might end up being a good Architect/Int.Design. Well what im trying to say is that im scared, Truelly fully SCARED out of my mind. I really love making model homes, Ive made 2 model homes the past 2 years and the first one was OK but the second one was WOW, it looked modern and it was like an Eco-Friendly House, BUT the negative thing about this house was that i didn't do any measures, so the house had windows in different sides and it was just not measured correct. All this i hope to improve in my next 2 years of a highschool student ( measuring, organizing, etc) to become a more knowlegeable student. I am also really SCARED of not being able to get a Scholarship and end up paying all my College Tuition Costs and becoming in Debt for the rest of my life. Since i retained Algebra 1 for 2 years because i didnt pass my freshmen Year then i had to take it Sophmore year and Im currently Taking Geometry during Summer and its Ok, not that hard or Easy. And i hated Algebra 1 but Geometry is in a way exciting. And Since im not a straight "A" Student im like a "B" or a "C" student (Neutral) and do they still give out Scholarships to people like me that dont get Advanced Grades but Ok Grades ? Please explain anything i can do to ensure my choice of Majoring, and all the things i listed of being SCARED. Please i just want some Honest Answers from other people that also felt this way or was in the same shoes as me in the Past. Thanks Alot, I really Fully Appreciate Your Time.

- SLO-O-O-W-W down!!! You're thinking TOO much!!! First, don't be scared...! Do what you love. Nothing is locked in concrete, even after you start college/art school. One can change their major in the middle if need be. Have FUN with all your classes! Even if you hate a class, go into it with the idea, you will learn something from it, even if it is that you hate that particular medium...go onto the next. College/art school is great and I say that because I only got to go after 20 yrs. after high school. I loved every minute of it and did chang my major in the middle. You have required classes to take, like drawing, printmaking, sculpture, etc., which gives you an insight to many things and areas to which you have to think about in the art world. I took all the classes I thought I'd like after the required ones and they helped me make up my mind on my major. My Bachelor of Fine Arts degree I almost majored in 3 areas: Textiles, Metalsmithing and a minor in Ceramics, then MFA I majored in Textiles. Don't be so worried about math, most artists are right-brained not left-brained (math & calculating) anyway. You'll get through it if you look at it with a little more love and not fear. Take a deep breath and relax... Check out the schools you think you might like to attend, maybe go visit and ask lots of questions. I hope this helps to make this easier. Enjoy!
