A: hi, Melissa! How are you doing?
B：I’m so stressed! I don’t know where to go to school and what to major in!
A: don’t worry. You have plenty of time to decide.
B: actually, I don’t. If I want to get grants and scholarships to help me pay for tuition, then I need to apply by Monday.
A: oh, I see. Well, let me see if I can help you. What’s your favorite subject?
B: I like English, math, art, and music.
A: ok. Which one do you like the most?
B; I guess I’d have to say English. I usually do pretty well in English classes, too.
A: which subject do you get your highest grades in?
B: actually, that would have to be math.
A: ok, well. What kind of job do you want to get when you graduate?
B; I don’t know. All I know is that I want to make lots of money!
A: alright. So, is it more important to you to make money or to enjoy your work?
B: in a perfect world, I would enjoy my work, not have to do much, and make lots of money!
A: ok. Stop dreaming. Since you sound a bit unsure, I’d suggest taking bout math and English classes your first semester to see which you enjoy more. You can always change your mind.
B: that’s a good idea. But what about deciding on where to go to college?
A: why don’t we go take a tour of some of the universities around here this weekend?
B; that sounds like a great idea, but to be honest, I’ve already decide that I don’t want to go to school near home.
A: oh? Why not?
B; I need to broaden my horizons. That’s what you always say, right?
A: yes, maybe one time too many.
