Major Changes

Well, it isn't official yet, but I have finally decided that I need to change my major. I have tried to stick with Civil Engineering as best as I could, but mild interest of the various areas of study is not going to cut it for me anymore. Almost consistently, the worst grades I have received in college are for my engineering classes and I attribute that to the fact that I have little passion for them. Other classes--such as the classes I took for my music minor--are significantly higher on average and my best semester since I was a Freshmen was when I had 3.5 hours of CE courses.
I considered a few other options for what I want to change my major to. The obvious choice would have been Music, but I dismissed that for a few reasons. First, most of the classes for the minor do not cross over to the major. Second, the major is really long and I'm already a senior--it wouldn't be long before the graduation police started knocking at my door wondering why I'm still at BYU. And besides, I doubt that someone with my current GPA could get into a program as competitive as the School of Music, regardless of what my vocal skill is.
One of the other options I looked at was Statistics. I enjoyed the Stats class I took in high school and the major did not look freakishly long, but I don't know if I'd have the same troubles that I had with engineering. One class is not enough for me to determine whether I have passion for it or not.
The option that is (and perhaps should have always been) my first choice is English. I love reading and writing. I was not always a critical writer (and it still isn't my forte) but I have posted more than one literary analysis on this blog for no other reason than I thought it would be fun. I cannot remember any time that I engineered something for fun. I know that college coursework can never be enjoyable all the time, but I think I should study something that makes me happy and excited. I truly believe that English is that subject.
As for my future, I had some idea of what being an engineer would be like, largely thanks to my internships, but the image of me actually designing professionally was never very concrete. On the other hand, I can very clearly imagine being a librarian (or something similar) and enjoying it. I literally go into the bookstore sometimes for the sole purpose of seeing what books are there, I seldom turn down the opportunity to recommend a book to someone, and I've even been known to reshelve books at the library when I notice they were put back in the wrong place. Libraries are practically my second home and I'd love to have the chance to work in one.
There are a few things that have held me back from making this decision to change for so long. First is the fact that I am resistant to change in general. Another was some words of wisdom from Writing Excuses (did I mention I'd like to be an author someday too?): it's a good idea to study things other than writing so you have something to write about. I have come to the conclusion that I have had adequate formal education in engineering to influence my writing. If I need to learn more, I think I can find the information without taking more classes.
A quote that my (female) Statics professor told the class way back in Freshmen year has stuck with me: "If a man fails he thinks the teacher is a jerk. If a woman fails, she feels that she doesn't belong." There were a lot of times when I felt like I didn't belong in civil engineering, but I wanted to prove to myself the professor's ultimate point that feelings of inadequacy was not the reason to quit Civil Engineering. Unfortunately, I still do feel at times inadequate even though time and again I have been able to grasp the concepts when I took the time to study them. The thing was, I didn't like studying them all that much so I would miss class and assignments and not be as prepared for tests as I should have been. And down the spiral goes.
I want to stop the downward spiral, and I think the only way to do that is to focus my studies on something I truly enjoy. I want to excel, but the motivator I need is not the one I'm using right now. It's time to change. I just hope the university will let me do it.
