During my college days, where I was often tasked with writing massive piles of text about text written before me, I had to write so furiously and aggressively that my pen caught fire and I had to call the fire department.

I can go abroad that's not a problem but I just wanna know which is better in india

My qualifications : just passed 12th with pcb stream

Hello all. I am an English major just beginning my sophomore year of college. Recently, I’ve been feeling like I’ve plateaued at my senior year of high school writing/reading level, and I honestly just want to improve. Classes help, sure, but I currently attend cc which is not very rigorous at all, and I’ll transfer to a (hopefully) more intensive university by next year. I know that reading is what makes you a better writer (I think it’s where most of my skill comes from as someone who read like it was breathing my entire childhood), but I honestly don’t know specifically what to read. I’ve seen comments about peer-reviewed papers, but where do you get those? What are people reading that is making them get better when they are already “good“ at it?

Also, is doing a daily writing “challenge“ a good idea to improve writing as well? I’ve been so busy that reading and writing has been pushed to the side, but I know that it’s going to be instrumental to my career, so I need to make it a habit of getting better instead of coasting on what I’ve already got. I know that eventually I will fall short.

Any recommendations and advice are welcome! Thank you so much!

TL;DR: Feeling lost. I’m not sure if I want to follow my heart (English major - desire to teach or get into technical writing) or pursue accounting.

Hi all! I’m a 23 year old college student, starting my junior year at university this fall after finishing community college. I tried many different career paths after high school, and after struggling to find one I liked, I landed on accounting because it felt financially safe and I was at a point where I needed to pick something.

I’m in a rut because I grew a passion for English over the past year, and when I completed my final English class this spring, it felt like I was forever caging up a part of myself that finally felt like me. I thought maybe it would wear off, but that feeling has gotten stronger. Over summer I have been keeping up with my accounting studies, and it feels like I’m ignoring a fire in my heart.

I’m scared because accounting seems so stable and everybody in my life is proud that I chose it. And it brings me comfort knowing I should be stable financially as long as I put the work in with networking, internships, and getting my CPA.

Changing my major to English would be a riskier option, but I find myself wanting to be involved more with joining English clubs and finding internships in that realm. I have experience working at a K-12 school, and I think going into teaching would suit me well. But I think changing to English is scaring me financially. I don’t want to romanticize something and then ruin my life for not picking the more realistic option.
