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?

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
