Why I Chose My Major
Forensic Access

The major that I chose was forensic biology. Originally, I wanted to go to school to be a surgeon, a heart or brain surgeon. After talking to multiple people and thinking about it more and more every day, I decided to choose forensic biology. After graduating my current school, I plan on going to medical school and into a pathology program. The issue with being a surgeon for me is that I don’t enjoy doing the same thing repeatedly all of the time. It bores me. In forensic pathology, I will not be doing the same thing repeatedly every time an autopsy is required for someone.

The main reasons of why I chose forensic pathology are that it is interesting, a different experience, and there are a ton of opportunities that can come from it. To me, it is interesting because I see crimes on the news and read about them all the time. When something happens to someone, their family wants closure on what happened. For instance, if someone was murdered, their family would want to know what happened. It is a shame when these cases go “cold.” The criminal doesn’t get what they deserve and the family is not justified. It is not only this that interests me. The anatomy of a person and what caused their death is what interests me the most. That is something that I am passionate about and would absolutely love to work with. Every case is different, so every time is a different experience. One case may be a homicide, another may be a suspicious death, and so on. It isn’t always the same thing. Tons of opportunities can come from this type of job, just like any other type of employment.

All my life, especially through my high school years, I was told to do what made me happy. I believe that this job is one that would make me extremely happy. Some people may be disgusted by what I chose for my occupation. Some people may find it interesting that I have the stomach to do something like this. Others may love it the way I do. Either way, it does not affect my decision of what I want to do. This is something I am completely passionate about doing. I hope that you find something that you will absolutely love to do, just as I have.

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.
