My Majors

I am duel majoring in Political Science and Mass Communications.  I chose these two majors because I am very interested in politics and how forms of communication work so I can learn proper ways to channel information to various people. The classes in each are very interesting, well at least the ones I have taken.  In Mass Communications, I have learned how to make graphic novels, edit soundtracks, and properly write scripts for news stories.  I enjoy doing these because I have never done those things before and I had fun doing them.  I enjoy working on programs that computers offer and create new things.  I am interested in radio broadcasting and I hope to get a job working at a radio station this summer.  I listen to the radio daily and music is a passion of mine.  So I am really interested in learning how a radio station works and how music can be edited.  I enjoy politics also.  I have learned how to make a proper research question and how to create a good research paper.  I have also learned about voting habits, why people vote, and changes in voting history.  If I do not get a job in a communications field, I am leaving my options open to find a job as a lawyer or in public relations.  I feel like the classes are more important than the program because it’s up to the teachers to make the literature and the class enjoyable while teaching the material.  Also, there are classes that students can take in the field that aren’t required, but may be very influential to a student if he or she takes it.  I took a class that wasn’t required in political science and enjoyed it and learn a lot from the class.  I hope to learn as much as I can from these two majors and the courses I am taking so I can use the knowledge I gained outside of school and in the real world.  I honestly haven’t look up what classes I have to take or who the teachers are.  I usually find out from people who have taken the teacher I am about to take and find out what kind of teacher he or she is and if that teacher does a good job in teaching.  I hope to succeed in school so I can get a job that I enjoy and that I can settle down in for the rest of my life.
