1．I major in Mechanical Engineering and Political Science.When someone hears what I study，I'm usually meant with two reactions.First up is a small smile with the word "overachiever" on the tip of their tongue.The second is a look of confusion，followed by an exaggerated （夸張的） "why？".The short answer：I want to be a problem solver，and engineering teaches me how to become that type of person.In addition，I also want to be able to look at the bigger picture.
   It's the beginning of a new year，and a lot of first-years have plans for double or triple majors.However，as most of us quickly realize after that first fall semester，college is a lot!We are unavoidably forced to make choices - do we keep trying to make our double or triple majors work or do we completely switch gears？The thing I wished someone told me on day one is if you're passionate about something，it's not going to feel like work.Political Science can be challenging，but to me，it's fun to read the Constitution （憲法） and see the impact each word has on our interpretation.
   This may sound hard to accept，but if you are double or triple majoring because you think you're in a race with your peers，you're only running yourself into the ground.Don't double or triple major if you are doing it for a mark on your resume （簡歷），because then your life will be a living hell for the next four years.What is going to make you impressive is the passion that you have - whether it be in your study，career，or something else your career and study will enable you to do.
   Always think about your "why" when it comes to the schedule a double or triple major entails.Because at the end of the day，it's going to be you doing the homework - so try to enjoy what you're doing along the ride for what it's worth.
