Can I get validation?

On Monday I'm going to campus, speaking with my advisor, and switching my major.

This fall will be my fifth year, and if I didn't plan to switch, I'd be graduating with a degree in finance. Why I got into finance, or business really (started as entrepreneurship), I'm unsure. I started as a psych major, and I think I remember switching to business for a stable job.

Anyway, for the past two years now, I've been disinterested in my classes. Idk why it took me this long to finally do it, but I'm going to switch my major to English.

I've always liked reading. I've always liked writing. I've always teaching. I've finished and revised two novels in the past year, while taking business courses, and this semester I told myself I'd indulge with a Shakespeare course with one of my favorite professors, whom I've never followed up with.

But instead of just taking that one Shakespeare course, last night, as I stayed awake until 7am thinking about my future, and reading Stoner by John Williams, I realized I want to go all out. I don't want to take business courses.

I'm 21. I'm two semesters away from a finance degree, but I don't want it. Has anyone been in this situation? Am I foolish for not going for the finance degree, even as a safety net?
