JOMC101.001 - A Start

Hi everyone!

My name is Kamila, and I'm a sophomore (English and Journalism double major) from Florida. So basically, the reason why I'm in this class is because I had somewhat of a revelation over winter break. I used to be a Psychology Major (not entirely sure why, to be honest. I think my rationale was based on giving my friends somewhat good advice when it came to teenage-y type stuff back in high school: family problems, boyfriend or girlfriend troubles, class overload, you know.)

Anyway, every time someone asked me why I was so keen on pursuing Psych, and which branch I wanted to focus on, I'd always end up shrugging my shoulders. I gave everyone who asked me that question some sort of response that basically said, I have no clue. And I didn't. I had taken the classes. I studied various aspects of the subject and had professors who were willing and able to give me some insight. But there was one thing missing and I, for the life of me, couldn't figure out what that one thing was. That is, until about... three weeks and four days ago.

Drive.

To make a two-year "major" in-decisiveness story short, psychology just wasn't what I wanted to pursue. It wasn't my passion, if you want to get corny about it. Maybe some part of me was always trying to tell me that, every time I said I didn't know.

So now I'm here. Pursuing journalism and hoping I find some branch of this major that catches my eye. I've always been a fan of writing, and in high school I did some yearbook and newspaper work that I was pretty fond of. Who knows? Maybe, after a few detours, my "collegiate" path has brought me to this place, to this blog, to this class, for a reason. (So much for not being corny.)
