Science or humanities: dilemma of the century

Throughout my entire childhood, teenage, and high school years I was a total science and math nerd. I took all the AP science classes I could and went out of my way to take some independent study classes with some of my high school teachers. When I was applying to schools, I was set on being a nutrition major, just like my sister and when we did a report in high school on what we wanted to do after college, I did mine on being a dietitian.. I started out my freshman year as a nutrition major and realized it wasn't my calling. Looking back, I never wanted to be a nutrition major. I think to myself, "what the hell was I thinking", because that is the complete opposite I am doing now, as a communications major. I think I got burnt out of science, but I also think that I was exposed to a whole "world" of other classes to take, as I went to a small high school with limited opportunities for electives. Instead of just following my older sister's footsteps, I took some of the intro classes for the comm major and loved it. 


With both my parents working more or less in the science world (both agriculture based) and my sister in the science world, I think that part of my love for science was based on how I was raised, because that was what was in everyone's interest. I was in no way sheltered as a child, but once I got to college the opportunities for me because drastically more. Science still holds a special place in my heart, and more often than it should do I second guess myself in thinking I should have stayed in the science world, not necessarily nutrition, and gave it more of a chance after high school. One reason I really enjoy this class is because I love both the sciences and the humanities and have had a passion for both at some point in my life. It is hard for me to pick a side, whether it is Pinker, Latour, or Lewontin because I have often held beliefs from both perspectives, but it is interesting to see different beliefs compared side by side.
