There are
three
most asked questions from the
time you turn 18 and start college until you graduate at around the age of 22:
1. How’s school?
2. What’s your major?
3. Do you know what you want to do when
you graduate?
Am I saying
these questions are bad to ask?
No.
Because, the people that ask these really do care about how
you are doing and there’s no other way to ask, I get it. I’ll probably end up
asking the same questions to students when I become “older”. J
So I thought today I would talk about just the basics of
school and what’s going on in my educational life…
How’s school?
School is
awesome. College is awesome. I never thought how AWESOME it would be!
I really enjoy the community and fellowship that I am surrounded
by 24/7…it’s something that I was really looking forward to, and it turned out
to be even better than I imagined. My hall is really close and we are known as
the “loud” floor. The other halls are constantly telling us to quiet down…it’s
something we own now, but we are trying to limit our loudness J if you want a sneak peek into our
fun, here’s a little music video that we had a blast putting together:

I’m taking
the max of 18 credit hours this semester, and I also am taking Wind Ensemble
for no credit, because I can’t stop playing my clarinet!
As well as
being involved with the wind ensemble, I’m part of the dance team too! I love being a part of it J
Oh yes. I
almost forgot about the school part of college J which brings me to the next question…
What’s your major?
Currently my official major is…get ready it’s lengthy. A
communication arts major with a concentration in journalism.
Since high school, I’ve developed a passion for writing. I like
to write and cover news, feature events and people. My favorite part of journalism
is talking to people, learning about their life stories and what their part is
in whatever I’m writing about.
Blogging is kind of a free spirited outlet for me to not
necessarily be so worried about checked facts, the word count, getting good
quotes, and writing a good lead.
HOWEVER, since I’ve been taking my pre-requisite classes, I
have been pulled into the public relations side of communications. The
journalism life and career is slowly fading away. It’s sad to say but it’s
happening. Has your local paper decreased their printings per week yet? If not,
beware.
The more I learned about the field of public relations, the
more I envisioned my future in that field. I love to be around people, I like
interacting with others and I think that I could be a good spokesperson and
event planner.
Furthermore,
I probably will hop on over to a public relations major soon.
Do you know what you want to do when you graduate?
Nope. I have a couple of ideas rolling around in my head.
Obviously something in the PR field, but I also feel a really strong calling to
travel oversees to possibly Vietnam and work there. Who knows…?
I’m not too worried yet, the longer I’m here and in school,
the more I will learn and discover what I’m supposed to be doing.
Talk to you tomorrow!!!
