    Impossible?

    I really don't want to get ahead of myself, so I'll see how my first year reflects my capabilities before insisting on anything. I just can't wait to start my journey at USAFA.

    Impossible?

    I really want to double major in Astronautical Engineering and MSS and minor in a language is that possible too pick 2 totally different majors or is this too ambitious and it could lead to burnout?
