fallen even when you get in to college you may not be sure what you want to be. I'm in the computer science field as well, but if i wasnt so far into my school i would most likely minor in psychology even though it doesnt help my major anyway i found it very interesting.

Fallen's interests: reading, gaming, and movies

That sounds like creative, entertainment-oriented stuff. I might suggest these majors: Communication, English (writing-oriented), Theatre, or Art.

Still, there is a difference between leisurely interests and professional interests. Occasionally they coincide, like when a computer science major ends up being a games programmer, but more typically they don't. These interests are a good place to start either way, so look for classes that are close to your interests. You'll find out pretty quickly if a class entices you or not with a prospective career. Along the way you might trip over something you want to do professionally.

I was also thinking along the lines of Foursci, before I read what he wrote.

How about you go ahead and go to school and learn literature, art, and creative writing, and then you can learn character development and other useful skills in order to write stories and backstories for theater/video games/movies.
