    Fretting about what to major in now that college is quickly approaching? Check out Seventeen's Q&A on the subject!

    Q: "I'm having trouble choosing a major! I have a lot of different interests and I'm scared of committing to just one. What's the best way to choose?" --Katie, 18, Panama, FL

    A: Choosing a major can be overwhelming when there are so many interesting fields of study — it’s hard to narrow it down to just one! One of the things I find really helpful when I’m having a tough time making decisions is to make lists of pros and cons. So write down each of the majors that interest you, and under each one list what you like and don’t like about it, as well as the possible careers you might like to pursue. You may want to consider which majors will best prepare you for the job you want to get out of college. Read More »

    Hi girls! On days like today — rainy, humid, and just overall yucky weather — I like to bring out the big guns! That’s why these curly hair product lines are my fave:

    *Hair Rules: My favorite product is their Curly Whip! It tames frizz and protects your curls from humidity, while keeping them soft and shiny!
    Go to www.hairrules.com for more info.
    *Miss Jessie’s: I LOVE the Curly Pudding. You know when your curls get all poufy and fuzzy? Well this is the cure! And you’ll love the yummy smell! It reminds me of being on a tropical island!
    Go to www.missjessies.com for more info.
    *Mixed Chicks: My curls are always in need of major moisture. The Leave-In Conditioner from this line works wonderfully!
    Go to www.mixedchicks.net for more info.

    See reader tips below to get the hottest nails for a romantic evening with your guy!

    "At least an hour and a half before a date, I cut, file, and coat my nails with a clear nail polish. It takes the whole time for them to dry completely." --Amanda, 15, Ware, MA

    "I usually go for the simple colored French tips. Red is a popular choice for me, and I like to paint little hearts on my ring finger as well. Sometimes I put white dots around the tip. It's simple and playful!" --Mandy, 17, Walnut, WA

    "You don't want to come across as being too high maintenance, and guys don't notice nails all that much. As long as they are clean, you're good to go!" --Preeya, 19, Orlando, FL

    "I always have my nails done in a French manicure before any kind of event -- it's simple yet elegant, and will always match." --Caitlin, 14, Telferner, TX
