Hi. I majored in Applied Mathematics with an emphasis in computer science. And, at least from my personal experience, the computer science part felt like a waste of time. Undergrad computer science classes are all rather uninteresting and will not prepare you for the job market you are going to enter. If you really (and I mean really) want to design algorithms then computer science is for you.
What I've learned in my first two years in industry is that computer science and programming are JUST a means to an end.
What is really important is your DOMAIN KNOWLEDGE. You should get out there and learn something about a field besides computer science that interests you. Computers are so fast and powerful now that hardly anymore is asking if something is computable anymore or trying to get matrix multiplication lower than O(n^2.3).
I, for example, really like football. So I've been spending my spare time developing models and gathering statistics for the NFL.
