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?

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.
