One possible silver lining: better to figure out a "wrong major" situation as a freshman than as a junior or senior. The latter seems to happen a lot (roughly 1/3rd of all 4 yr undergrads change majors, as high as 50% in some subjects)

In my abbreviated college career, the only class I ever dropped was one in my intended major ... and I knew within 15 minutes of the first session that the class would be a complete disaster for me.
