Although it wasn't my first choice, I chose to become a communications major when entering into college. Honestly, I wasn't sure what I wanted to do with my life when I chose to major in Communications, but after learning more about it, I'm positive that I took a step in the right direction.

Throughout my first semester as a Communications major, I also learned that, like many other majors, Communications comes with many stereotypes. I noticed that to some, Communications majors are the students that have no idea what they want to do and just don't want to work hard during college. These stereotypes don't really describe me, or my fellow communication majors AT ALL. Maybe those who feel this way don't know much about the major.

Here are 6 things I hear as a Communications major:

1. "So, you're learning to speak?"

Although it includes this aspect, It is not solely about speaking to people. It's much more complex than that. There are many other aspects to the major. Studying Communications also deals with studying advertising, public relations, the media, and so much more.

2. "But you already know how to communicate!"

3. "What can you do with it?"

Ok, maybe not literally anything. However, there are a wide range of opportunities that are open to Communication majors.

4. "Wow, your major must be so easy!"


5. "You're smart. You could do other majors."

I could do other majors, but I probably wouldn't be as happy. I'm happy with the major I chose.

6. "Why did you choose this major? You're kind of shy!"

Yes, but communication isn't all about public speaking. Also, I refuse to let my shyness hinder me and my desire to improve in the public speaking aspect of my major

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
