What should I major in, in college?

I really have no idea. I've begun to think about college options (I'm a sophomore in high school). I'm really struggling with what I want to do in a couple years. I know I'm kind of young, but I'm just trying to think of ideas. I, of course, want to do something that I'm good at. I'm very strong in English, literature, writing, etc. Foreign languages and history are also my stronger points. I'm horrendous at any type of math, and I generally struggle in science classes. I'm a pretty strange learner, very right-brained. I've gotten perfect scores on my English/Literature state tests, and failed my math ones. What would be some good majors, for someone like me? What sort of jobs could I get with said major? Thanks.

    Don't worry at all! At some colleges (such as Christopher Newport) give you two years of college before you have to decide what to major in. They give you a chance to test the waters and see what you are interested in. You may find it's completely different from what you originally wanted to do!

    My friends who are English/literature oriented are thinking about studying International/World Studies, teaching English in another country, etc... you could probably also look into being an English professor, or doing something with policy/trade.
