Choosing a major can be difficult, but I know I'm in the right one for me.

I am a writing major at the University of Wisconsin-Superior. I know I'm in the right major because of these five reasons:

1. I walk out of class excited.

I'm excited to do the next assignment, I'm happy to do it because I want to do it. I know this is such a great thing for me because I can't wait to be engaged in the material that I'm learning about!

2. I can connect with my professors.

When I talk to my professors, they say things about writing that I understand on a personal level; I can have full-length conversations about my passion with them. Even when I'm signing up for classes my advisor and I get talking about writing.

3. I can be confident.

I am not usually a self-confident person, but I often know when I'm writing an essay or a writing assignment how well I am doing. I am also confident in the fact that I can learn the material and use it to my advantage.

4. My work is appreciated.

Whenever we do a workshop on a paper, I find that my work is appreciated. I also appreciate other students work and am engaged in their writing, knowing that I can always do better. I want to do better and am excited to see that my fellow students appreciate my work.

5. I genuinley still love writing.

Writing is still my passion, despite almost two years of harsh work at it. At the end of the day, I still write; and that is how I know that my major is perfect for me.
