wasting years learning about poll optimization and legal jargon when I want to learn about the organization of society. i guess i assumed the so-called 'science of politics' encompassed that more so. it sucks because I'm a senior and at this point I guess I'll just ride it out

The upside is you can just learn shit whenever you want to. Poli sci seems like it would look nice on paper. Getting a degree in something isn't the only way to learn stuff good. If you already know how to do research, just crack some books for fun after you've ridden this out
