The Vagina Monologues is a "famous play that includes different interviews, an entertained play that empowers women and teaches them to love their body and not feel shy, disgusted or shameful about their bodies," said Jackie Lua, employee of the WRC. The play covers a variety of topics and monologues that enlightens women and encourages them to “not adhere to the social stigma of sexually exploring them- selves as women," said Wollard.

Across the country many college stu- dents ranging from fi rst time freshmen, indecisive sophomores and juniors to fi fth or sixth year seniors will have addressed questions like these at least once over the course of their college career. It is a general consensus that most frown upon those that change their major, which may be the reason many students are reluctant to do so. The decision itself can be life changing simply because it requires a lot of thought and preparation. An abundance of factors seem to be important when making these judgments.
