When looking at schools, people ask you what you want to do. I had an idea, well many. If I can remember correctly I had started off wanting to go for the culinary arts since I love to cook and anything related to food. Then it was architecture where my best friend and I thought we would make amazing architects. When looking at schools I was set on going for computer science since I loved computers and technology and when I applied to the schools I thought that was it. Next Senior year of high school. This is where I realized I didn't want to go for computer science but instead I wanted to go for accounting after taking a high school level accounting class. So I enrolled in an accounting program up at school, which I do not regret at all, thought this is what I want to do for the rest of my life, and buckled up for the rest of college with hopes of getting a job right out of school since we have recruiters for the big firms in the city here. Finally, I learned accounting was not what I wanted to do at the end of my sophomore year. I dropped all my accounting dreams and looked into communications. I learned that with a communications major I had multiple things I could look into doing and as a bonus, all my business classes would just go to my minor instead of being a waste of time. Now here I am senior year, looking into what I want to do when I graduate and I am actually excited to know that I found something I want to do.
I guess what I am trying to say with all of this is never be afraid to look into other options not only in college with majors but with anything in life. Some times your first, second, third, or fourth idea may not be the best option. It took myself a few tries and then a realization that what I thought I wanted was not what I actually wanted to do. Now I can happily say that becoming a communications major showed me what options are open to me and that now it seems like the path that is my future is coming together.
