My name is Megan Johnson. I transferred to Austin Peay last semester to continue my education in Criminal Justice. While continuing my education, I have realized that I want to have a double major. I have narrowed down my second major, but cannot decided quite yet. I'm look forward to having another class with Mr. Genis.…
In the article Schwartz mentions that, “students are eager to have double and triple majors, partly, I know, to pad their resumes, but also because they can’t figure out which discipline they really want to commit to” (804). If the number of choices are somewhat reduced to a manageable number, the amount of time/effort into making a “wise” decision will be more…
I spent a fair amount of first semester exploring other majors online, through campus events, and by talking with two of my O-Week advisors who are majoring in some of the areas I am interested in (English and SWGS). I realized that it is perfectly okay to change my plans and that it is important to explore my areas of interest. Second semester, I am taking courses in English, Sociology, Psychology, and Communications, and am very excited to continue taking courses in these areas and to explore the other academic areas that I am interested in, such as Jewish…
Most college students spend countless hours trying to decide which major to choose; which major fits them the best. However, I had the unique blessing in having my major choose me. I believe that the field of psychology of chose me from a young age. People always feel very comfortable around me and open up to me. Whenever someone I know has an issue or they are feeling emotionally distressed, they outreach to me and we talk about what is bothering them.…
All throughout our lives we have had to balance school with whatever important thing was going on at that time. In elementary school it was easy. We had to balance school and play time. In middle school it was a little more difficult because we had to balance school, our friends and the occasional relationship. High school was when it became a little tricky because it was when most of us got our first job. We then had to balance our job, friends, relationships, and school. We somehow managed to balance all of these things throughout our lives until college came along. College is a transition period for many students, most of which must learn to balance work, friends, serious relationships, and financial debt.…
When first accepted to college, I was a theatre major with emphasis in performance and research. After one year of that major I realized that I did not have the personality type to be on a constant look out for small jobs. I also did not want to be moving constantly. I had a vague idea of applying to law school if theatre didn’t go anywhere for me. After much thought, I realized that law school was what I really wanted to do with my life. From an early age I was greatly interested in mystery novels and law shows. I was especially attracted by the type of novels that allowed the reader to attempt to solve the mystery before turning to the last page to read the answer. My favorite television show has been “Law and Order” since the age of eleven, however inaccurate it may be. I believe that it was partly the attraction to books and shows like these that planted the idea of being a lawyer in the back of my mind. When I began high school I became a student school librarian. I kept that post until I graduated (with library service cords). While I was a librarian I became very familiar with the ins and outs of the Dewey Decimal System, and I helped both teachers and students with research. I came to realize that I liked researching. In the high school theatre department and later the college theatre department, I became a dramaturg: the person responsible for doing any and all research needed to perform a play. After I came to college as a theatre major I realized that I missed being a librarian. I also realized that I did not like the uncertainty of theatre. The ghost idea of being a lawyer if theatre didn’t work out became more solid. After thinking about how much I like research and figuring things out, it became what I wanted, not a back up plan.…
Can you imagine that your life could change by programs you are involved in? That is what happened to me. Last year, I joined TAPP (Teen Advocate for Pregnancy Prevention) which meant I had to communication with youths that did not want to listen. I had to be very creative and sometime be an actor to get my point across to the youths. I began to realize that God gave me a gift to communicate and act so I needed to pursue this major.…
I would definitely consider communications as a major because I feel classes as such as communications teach you also how to read people solely off how they are speaking to you. In a situation that a gun was to my head and I had this major I would know great skills in how to seem relatable to the person who wants to kill me and possibly sway his reasons for wanting to hurt me. Some advantages would be that I could talk my way out of the situation and seem compassionate to the invader and I would calm him down and get to the root of the problem. Disadvantages would be that I would not have had as much knowledge about communication and I would have…
