Welcome to the Finding Your Place podcast - a series about the college experience made by college students for college students.

How are you supposed to decide what to do with the rest of your life? In this episode, we dive into one of the most confusing aspects of the college experience: choosing a major. To figure this out, we'll spend some time with Gina Maahs-Zurbey, Academic Advisor and Student Relations Coordinator at Minnesota State University, Mankato. We'll also follow one producer's multi-semester struggle with finding the major that fit her skills ... and her interests.
