Don't stress it too much. Being 26 years old and attending college for the first time at 24 (and any classroom before that was when I was 14) I can say it is a way to weed out the complete idiots. My GPA is 3.9 and I will be transferring to Marquette next semester.

I would suggest to actually declare an undecided major. This will give you time to take classes and learn what you actually like. I didn't realize I'd like Philosophy so much until I took a class. (Too bad Philosophy is a dead career). Unless you know you want to go into business because that major requires you to start taking classes almost immediatly. But if you declare a major and start taking classes that go towards that major and realize later "hey this isn't what I'm into" then you will have wasted a lot of time. You will have to basically restart. My friend is making his bachelors last for 6 years instead of 4 because he changed his major and most of his classes didnt go towards the new major.

Im majoring in Biochemistry. Reason for this is Im still not sure what I want to do. However, Biochemistry requires a lot of biology, lot of chemistry, lot of math, and then all of the gen ed classes. When I graduate I will lots of oppertunities. I can find work in a bunch of different fields, I can further my education in different fields, or I can do a complete 180 and take my LSATs since the non major required classes will prepare me for that.

Those who say sleep around... dont pay attention too, I've only had sex with 2 women in the last two and a half years and they were both really great. Ended up meeting my wife in my first Philosophy class. (And as you can see by my GPA my grades havent been negativly effected by having long term GF's) And have a wonderful son from the first one.
