Why I'm Proud To Be A Broadcasting Major

When people ask me, "Why did you choose Broadcasting?" I have plenty of reasons.

Education Career Articles

When I decided to study Broadcasting, I was pretty young. I still don’t believe that if you go away to college you need to decide what you need to do forever and I’ve made peace with the idea that I might not work in Broadcasting for my entire life. But at the ripe age of seventeen, I was looking at colleges and looking into Communications programs. Eventually I got more specific into Broadcast Journalism and found a few schools I wanted to visit.

I ended up at Seton Hall University, and every day I am so proud to say that I am a Broadcasting major.

I could be studying a major that doesn’t truly make me happy, like Physics or Business Management. I could be studying a major that might make me a lot of money one day. But I chose to study Broadcasting for a reason, I chose it because it will make me happy, and if it will make me happy, then I will find a way to make the money work as well.

I am proud to be a Broadcasting Major because it is different. I enjoy explaining to people the lengths and distances I can go to create something, the people I could possibly meet, the places I could possibly go, and the adventures that it will take me on.

I am proud to be a Broadcasting Major because I get to watch something grow. Whether I choose to work for a television network, a film company, or a website, I get to watch whatever it is that I am producing, grow and evolve. It is a beautiful thing to watch something grow from just an idea. It is also one of the most rewarding.

I am proud to be a Broadcasting Major because I can choose any day to go my own way. If one day I am bored of an office job with a network or company, I can always say, “this isn’t for me, I’m starting my own company!” And I can do just that. With a dream and a clear mind, I can do anything I want to with Broadcasting.

I am proud to be a Broadcasting Major because I have so many options. I can produce news, stock news, entertainment shows, sports talk shows, animal shows, sitcoms, crime shows, any genre you can imagine. Life does not have to be dull.

I am proud to be a Broadcasting Major because I know I would not fit in anywhere else. I would not fit in with Nursing Majors or Business Majors. I love it; isn’t that what matters?

A Few Thoughts Every College Freshman Has

The transition into adulthood is never easy

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
