The marshmallow myth/DNA Crush

When you think of marshmallows you think of a camp fire or little kids eating a marsmallow sandwich with grand crackers.  But, there is a new way to use marshmallow and its not for eating.  A study shows that if you put kids in a room with two marshmallow and tell them not to eat it then they have a better rate of being successful.  But if some of the kids eat the marshmallow then they have a lesser chance of being successful. 

This kind of study is debating in a lot of ways and i don't support it at all.  They say in 15 years the kids that didn't eat the marshmallow will have a better chance at being successful then the ones that did eat the marshmallow.  But in my view how can you base a prediction off of marshmallow.  Just because a four year  old disobeys and eat a marsmallow doesn't hurt his chance of being successful.  People change over the years and other factors may change their behavior also.  Plus, most children isn't develop yet to know from right or wrong and you kind of put them in a no win situation.  I can connect to this situation because when i was young i had a bad behavior and people based my future off my bad behavior when i was a kid.  But things change and i was able to turn my life around and end up where i at today, in college. 

I don't support this marsmallow experiement that they try to do on the kids.  15 years is a long way to go and there are different obstacles that the kids are going to face that will change their behavior and who they are.

When it comes to college, many students already have their major they wants.  but some do enter college being undecided not knowing what they want to major in at all.  Thats complety find because many people change their major after their first year in college because they fall in love with someting else.  That happen to one student at her college.  She enter Harvard collge as a math major and eventually switch to science because of a DNA lecture that she listen to. 

This is something that is very common in college because there is so many classes and opportunity that is thrown at you.  I think that people should be more open minded when it comes to their classes because you never know what will interest you.  College is variety of different careers and majors that each students should explore and become familar with.  Going undecided is not a bad route to go and i would encourge many incoming freshman to go undecided so they can have the opportunity to see different other avenue go down. 

Who knows you may fall in love with DNA or something similar to it that makes you want to change your major and go down a different road.  By all means go for it
