Deciding on a college major is a significant step after high school. Before diving into specific fields, consider these practical aspects:

Academic Strengths: Focus on subjects you were good at in school. A major based on your natural abilities often leads to success.

Career Prospects: Research the current job market trends globally to understand future opportunities.

Further Education: Some careers, like medicine, require further studies (Master’s or Ph.D.) after a bachelor’s degree.

Flexibility: Some majors train skills useful for different industries, providing more career choices later.

Here are insights into some majors highly sought after by students.

Computer Science (CS): It is a dynamic field constantly changing with technological advancements. Graduates with a Computer Science degree are in high demand across nearly all sectors.

Engineering: This field applies scientific and mathematical principles to design, build, and maintain structures, machines, and systems. Engineers are crucial for innovation and development in various sectors.

Business: It emphasizes leadership, teamwork and planning, preparing graduates for management roles in finance or marketing.

Fine Arts: This field includes disciplines like painting, sculpture, photography, music performance and acting. Graduates develop highly valuable skills in creativity, problem-solving and communication.

Choosing your major is an important decision, but it is also a process of discovery. Many colleges allow students to enter as “undeclared.” This provides time to explore subjects before making a final decision.

There’s always one nonexistent friend in the group chat, loitering in the background, whose contribution to the chat remains minimal, if not extinct. That friend is me.

As long as I can remember having a phone, I’ve been a terrible replier. The phrase “Sorry I missed this” became my go-to line. When a new group chat is created, the members will always come to laugh at my inability to respond to a simple question within hours.

But I’m not terrible at replying to everyone. I pride myself on quick responses to work emails, my manager, and my mom — she even says, “I feel privileged to be on my daughter’s quick list.” To friends, I say, “Call me instead.” They know if it’s urgent, I’ll pick up right away. But if I mark a message as “non-urgent,” it’s a different story.

Group chats are even harder: conversations move so fast that missing just five minutes means I’m behind on 67 messages about parties, movies or dates. Once, I set aside 15 minutes to respond to friends’ texts. But by the time I responded, they had messaged back. And I filed those new messages as non-urgent again. All of this was like message quicksand.

Recently, I asked Billy about my bad texting. He’s that one friend you can always rely on to give you the non-sugarcoated truth: “You take 3-5 days to reply if we’re lucky.” Ouch — but probably not wrong. Then he added,

“But you always show up, never cancel, and drive 40 minutes to see us.”

Now I think about our group roles — the chatty one, the caller, the non-responder. All contribute and express love in different ways.

As I write this article, I wonder if my terrible texting could be a sign of my old age? Or I’m just bad at replying to messages? There’s a lot to think about — and I can promise you this thinking will take my attention away from the 219 messages I haven’t answered yet.

4. What can be inferred about the author as a responder from paragraphs 2 and 3?

A. She feels stressed to reply. B. She puts the vital first.

C. She prefers calling to texting. D. She fails to reply to friends.

5. What does the underlined word “quicksand” in paragraph 4 refer to?

A. A list often ignored. B. An endless cycle.

C. A game of rapid replies. D. A tool for classification.

6. Why does the author mention Billy in paragraph 5?

A. To show her friends are tolerant. B. To stress she’s made efforts in texting.

C. To prove her texting habit causes problems. D. To show her texting doesn’t hurt her friendship.

7. What is the author’s tone?

A. Humorous. B. Formal. C. Doubtful. D. Concerned.

You might have seen it — maybe sitting on a desk, or looking at you from a clear box like a curious little creature — The Labubu doll. As a family therapist and mom of teens, I notice these funny-looking collectible toys actually help us understand young people’s feelings. If we pay attention, we’ll see something important: Our kids are going through the tough but amazing journey of growing up.

Labubu’s charm isn’t about looks, but what it represents. It’s odd but interesting — just like being a teenager. At this age, kids are pulled between opposites: independence and dependence, fitting in and standing out, childlike play and teenage complexity. Labubu’s design shows these struggles. Its big eyes, wild smile, and crazy expression mirror the emotional chaos teens feel while figuring out who they are.

During development, young people often prefer unusual or striking things, not because they’re troubled, but because they’re learning to balance complicated emotions. Psychologists call this “symbolic mastery” — a process where individuals gain control over confusion or fear by owning related objects. When something catches your eye but isn’t too scary, it’s perfect for practicing emotional strength.
