Yeah I had second thoughts about my major too. I started as a philosophy major, but I changed my mind second semester freshman year. Now I’m an international business major. HAMLET: There are more things in heaven and earth, than are dreamt of in your philosophy. SPENCER: Dude I completely agree! I would be like sitting in class and my brain would just hurt. So what is your major? HAMLET: (Pulls skull out of backpack)
