I switched to English mid stream, going from an analytical course of study that was very easy for me, and one that I excelled at, to something I truly enjoyed.
I struggled as an English major. Our book load was incredibly daunting. My GPA dropped from a near 4.0 to a 2.8. And towards the end, I was burnt out and felt exactly the way you do, Zar. So I worked in a double major with journalism and graduated a year later than planned.
All I can say about English as a major, is that after getting a couple of years distance from the college experience, I found it to be more rewarding than I ever thought it would be.
