How much time will I have for writing in future years?
I've just wrapped up my first year and all things considered it went quite well. My classes were fairly easy, professors were nice, grades were good, etc. The only problem that really occurred was that my love of writing kind of interfered with my other classes. Not to the point of hurting my grades or anything, but during the last month of the semester I spent at least half my time solely dedicated to the paper and the other classes got what was left. I didn't have to, but I got the chance to argue for a new interpretation of the works of my favorite author, and obsession got the better of me. It was also just so much more fun than anything else I could be doing. I enjoy math a good bit but it's not as rewarding as writing. In a perfect world the solution is obvious, be an English or Creative Writing major and follow my dream of being an author. But money and AI exist so I can't afford to do that. So it seems my best option is to minor in creative writing. But that requires five extra classes I'd have to do during my junior and senior year. Is that reasonable? Will I have the time to do those classes well? Or do I need to make some decisions now?
