The adventure has finally come to a close, or should I say it is just beginning? After traveling down to Charleston, South Carolina last week, I knew my mind had been made up. My mom and I attended the two-day “Accepted Student Weekend” at the College of Charleston. I knew I was going to love the school but the question was, “will the communications program be what I am looking for?” After day one, I was not feeling so great about the information I was receiving and my carefree mood instantly went down in the dumps. However, I was not going to give up. I kept an open mind hoping day two would show me something I was missing. It started out that morning when I had a revelation about the academic s I was interested in. I had planted in my head that I was majoring in Communications and minoring in a form of journalism, preferably broadcast. There was no question, it was what I wanted and I was going to get it. But then it came to me. After meeting with a professor the day before and hearing wise words from my mother, I saw a different light. It is not always smart to study two topics that are fairly close in relation with one another. I will have my core focus be on communications but why not change up the sub-focus? And that is when it came to me: I will minor in Hospitality. There is absolutely no better place than Charleston South Carolina to study such a topic. I was so excited about my decision and could not wait to see what the rest of the day held. Before our weekend came to a close, the last event on the agenda was to talk to students. I happened to find someone who was majoring in communications AND minoring in hospitality! (How did I get so lucky?) This girl was so passionate about her studies, Charleston, and her life! Seeing how happy she was at the College and how just two simple topics could make her eyes widen, I knew it was time. I turned to my mom and said I was ready to go make that deposit. About an hour later, I was officially a Charleston Cougar.
