What Is Life After College?

Sure I have figured out my major but what happens after I get the major?

*if you haven't read my article about my major choice go check it out!*

It's a reasonable question though, what happens after the major? Being in a IAS major and taking such a wide variety of classes its hard to answer peoples big question which is "What type of job are you going to get with this major?" and honestly I really don't know. Now think about this for a second if my major is all over the place with the classes I can take, wouldn't it be a reasonable guess that maybe my work choice could be all over the place as well? Because it is very true, so here is my list of things I enjoy.

1. Cooking/Baking

The people who know me they know I enjoy doing both of these things. The only problem I see is that if you go and work at a restaurant than you have no creativity which is the best part of cooking or baking.

2. Early Childhood Development

Little kids are awesome in my opinion. The little babies until the age of about kindergarten–1st grade is a cool age. Now, I couldn't be a teacher because that isn't my major and includes much more school, but would I be able to do other things with kids that age (daycare, or that type of thing)? or would I have to go and get additional learning in Early Childhood Development.

3. Something to do with writing

I have somehow gotten into this world of writing and I have no idea where that came from, but when it comes to writing I could literally write about anything. Food. Coffee. World issues. Random Stuff. There are a lot of possibilities, but can I really see myself writing for the rest of my life?

4. True Crime Shows

The amount of different crime shows I watch is ridiculous, and I am not talking about Criminal Minds or NCIS (even though those shows are also good) I am talking about actual true crime. Some of the shows are Dateline, 48 hours (I don't personally watch), Making a Murderer, Snapped, Forensic Files, and many many more. There are many documentaries that are also about true crime and the amount of those I watch is also high.

Why do I like these types of shows? Really, I'm not sure. Some thing about it is just interesting. Why these people decided to kill other people. How the crimes were solved or on some occasions framed. The forensics of it all because every case has different types of forensics used. The whole physiological part of why someone does what they do is interesting. I am just very intrigued by these types of shows and the stories that come with them.

5. Photography

This isn't something that I could see anything happening with just photography itself but it would possibly come in handy with some of these ideas above.

Currently I am a lost little college student trying to finish my major, while thinking about what the heck am I going to do with the rest of my life.

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.

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
