I made a mistake choosing Social & Moral Philosophy as a paper because I'm not rational and can't seem to properly apply logic to any way of thinking.

Everytime I ask myself what the proper thing to do is, I just hear the constant reply of 'jus b urself ;)'

go with an english degree or art degree, anything else in the humanities really. more freedom.

This depends on the philosophy department where ever you go. At my University it's divided between the history of philosophy and analytic.
