Why My Major Is My Passion, And Yours Should Be Too

Too many people in our society wake up everyday dreading to go to work... I however, will not.

Why My Major Is My Passion, And Yours Should Be Too
tumblr

Too many people in our society go through each day of their lives dreading to wake up in the mornings because they view their careers as a chore.

I, however, will not.

It's your life. Why go through four years of hard work and end up doing something you despise merely because of the money.

Why not master these four years and be able to wake up each and every morning after that with pure excitement; ready to go to work, and do what you love?

Writing has been my passion for as long as I can remember. Being able to write down anything and everything on your mind has always been intriguing to me.

I mean, it's like you're creating your own world with a pencil and a sheet of paper, but growing up I was always told that I should study to become a doctor or lawyer...but not for the reasons of helping people; for the pot of gold you get at the end of every year.

Which is ridiculous to me...

I know of so many kids that were raised on the platform of "becoming rich..."

Instead of teaching a kid to grow old and become rich, why not teach kids to grow up and be happy...you can't put a dollar sign on happiness.

When I tell people I am a Journalism major, they are generally supportive, but every once in a while I can tell that they are skeptical on whether or not they believe journalism is a practical major or not.

But, while journalism may not be a lucrative or easy route to take, I know for a fact that I will end up loving anything I do within that field.

Many people think that you major is just something you should be "studying"; well it's not. Your major should be something you find exciting. It should be something you love, live, and breathe for.

Just follow your heart. It's simple. If you do not see yourself being excited to go to work in 10 years, then that major is obviously not for you.

Pick something you're going to love exploring jobs and internships for. Pick a field of study where you can't wait to start an internship during summer break.

Please do not pick a major to please people, and do not pick one just for the money. Pick a major that will keep you excited to go through life and discover the never ending possibilities it will grant you.

I know that I will, for a fact, wake up every morning excited to go to my job... and you should too.

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.
