Hello Friends,

I have switched majors 3-4 times. It is essential to try new things, and you don’t have to know what you want to do with your life 100%. I am 20 years old and am still determining what I want for half of the time. As a creative Writing Major at one of the best writing schools in the United States, I found that I really enjoy learning all about the English Language and writing. I also see things I will want to use as a writer. Poetry is one of my favorite things to analyze, but I also love to read, so if you like writing and reading, this is the major for you.

My weeks look pretty chill for a second-year first semester. I am taking five classes: Rhetoric, Foundations of the English Major, Foundations of Creative Writing, History of Jazz, and University Choir. Mondays and Wednesdays are early mornings, with my first class at 9:30 am. But I only have class on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 2:30. I have a class at 5:00 pm. I only have one discussion on Fridays at 11:30. As a student, that gives me a reasonable amount of time to study. If you need study tips, I will post a few of my favorite personal ones soon, so look at those!!!!

Last is a writer, myself. I always set aside time to write not only my music but I want to someday write a book. The best thing to do in college is to try and fail a hundred times. Make mistakes and try to get your dreams started. You will only be a disappointment to yourself if you never try. I have surprised myself so pleasantly so many times. So, if you choose Engineering or Medical fields, you can still work on your dreams. Never give up on them because you might change paths, but you will become so much more well-rounded as a person. So while this Hawkeye is a creative writer, she is so much more and can’t wait to learn more about herself.

Cheers
Rose
