I choose to go to college mostly because its the thing to do now. I know that sounds kind of lame but, its
true. I could say it was because I wanted to expand my education and get a better job but, that would be a lie. I'm not saying that this is a bad reason in fact that is a great reason and if that is why you are here then good for you. I guess I really don't have a great reason for being here. I am, as of right now, majoring in biology. I will probably transfer mainly because, I want to major in cellular biology and get a job as a genetic engineer. I'm not sure how much I really want to do this though. This semester I took a few classes just to get the hang of college but, next semester I am going to take a wide array of classes. I am still going to just take 12 hours but, I am going to look into classes and teachers, see what I like and figure it all out. I have a feeling I will change my major before I get out. I have already figured out a couple teachers and classes. I really hope that people will reply and tell me what classes they like.
I really like this college as a median from high school life to college life. The people here are friendly and fun (mostly) and yet serious at the same time. I originally wanted to go straight to auburn and start my major there but, I am glad that I came here first. My sister went straight to auburn and she said she had a rough time her first year.
Byron, in some way I felt negativity from your blog post. Then again it had some truths. I think you should've answered "Why College?" instead of "Why I'm Here?". I really hope you'll stick with JSU! Good luck on your major!
ReplyDeleteI understand the "it's the thing to do" aspect of why college. My parents pushed me into it, but I wanted it as well. JSU is an awesome school and it's great for me cause I'm a music major, but if it's not your thing for the next 4-6 yrs then it really is good for a transition.
