English Major
My only strengths in school are English and History. So for college, which is two years away, I suppose I'd go with an English major. My worry though, is what exactly can I do with that. I don't want to be constrained to just writing articles all the time.
What else can be done with an English major?

In my high school they make us choose majors as Freshman and we have to fill certain requirements in order to graduate. I chose English because at the time I wanted to be a writer. After I figured out that I can't write well to save my life, I decided I wasn't going to pursue that major in college. However, I did a lot of research on what one can do with an English major, and this is what I got out of it:
-Teacher
-Journalist
-Author
-Reporter
-Editor/Proofreader
There are, I'm sure a few other things, but I do know that an English major will help you with a lot of different majors, but if you're looking for jobs with good money after college, consider minoring in something else that could help you get a job.
Oh, and just because you're only good at English and History in school doesn't mean you can't do well in college with other things. Just think about what you can imagine yourself doing in life, go to collegeboard.com and research careers and majors that go with that career. That website can be SO helpful when planning for college and beyond.
I hope that helps!

I may not be answering your question but I'm a sophmore in college right now & during freshman year I went in wanting to major in english because that's what I'm good at. But then I asked myself the same question, what can I do as an english major. Well, I can write or be an english teacher if I double majored in english education. But I felt like I can't do much with it. So this year I figured I could major in communication because I can do almost anything with that. As a communication major you'd have to take a lot of english classes as well, so its almost like they go hand in hand & you can do a lot more with it. So maybe you should consider communication as a major or double major comm & english. Plus, if it doesn't work out when you start a job you can try something else because communication is so broad. But don't think too much of it yet because by the time you get to college you may want to do something totally different. In highschool I was so sure that I was going to graduate with as an english major. Now here I am, leaning towards communication & even thinking of going into business. So don't rush anything yet & wait til you get into college to see what you really want to do. Hope I helped a little. Good luck.
