College Admissions Essay: Why I Am As A College Student

One of the most common questions I get as a college student is of course, “What are you studying?” Though some might find this frustrating or maybe even a little annoying, I think it should eventually be something we are excited about. Talking about your future and what you are working so hard for should be something you want to share. When I was in high school I was accepted into a mass media class that was associated with our news program. It was taught by Mr. Hunter Ames, who was truly an inspiration to my dreams. I obtained so much new information like how to draw out a story board and filming a movie trailer all the way to filming a mock wedding ceremony. All of those things were a blast and I enjoyed every minute of it, but I also found myself so fascinated with the way that things work. How everything falls into place and the minds that go behind making such context that create an impact on people constantly had me thinking. That small amount of time I got to spend learning about something I was truly excited about was what got me through my days.
I am thankful I had that opportunity in high school and I am so hopeful for this new chance at Auburn University. I got to touch on a few things and now that I am in college and have gone through my Concepts in Communications and Journalism class with Dr. Susan Brinson, it has only intrigued me more. I am anticipating getting my hands into more detail throughout the Media Studies major and to find out more about what I love doing. I would be so grateful to have this opportunity to explore so much more about something I enjoy and I hope to be able to proudly tell people soon that I am a Media Studies major at Auburn
