About Me

So before I get started, I should probably tell you a little bit about myself. Before coming to college, I grew up in a small town called Williamstown in New Jersey. For the longest time I thought I wanted to be an English teacher. I first started my college experience at Rutgers, Camden, about a half hour from my house. This was never my first choice of school, but my parents pushed for me to stay home and go to college close by. I only lasted a semester there before I knew it was not for me. I hated everything about the college: the small size, the professors, the commute, the area, everything. So after my first semester, I transferred to Camden County Community College, just ten minutes from my house. I loved community college but knew I had to move on eventually.

Before I graduated at CCC, I applied to Rowan, Temple, and West Chester University. I got accepted at all three, but decided that I wanted to go to West Chester- it was best for my major, was a perfect distance for me to live away, and it was a wonderful area. After about a year here at West Chester, I decided that teaching was not for me. I still loved English and writing, so I decided to continue on the English track with a concentration in journalism and business and technical writing. Now, because I transferred twice and changed my major, here I am sitting in my fifth year of college. I'm not complaining- because quite frankly, I'm not exactly sure what I want to do when I graduate. I am thinking of working in human resources, but want to look into it more.

So, welcome to my life. By now, I know all the ins and outs of college life. I have learned from my mistakes and have had some really great experiences along the way.

My tip today for all high school seniors:
Pick a four-year school and stay there.
OR
Go to community college your first two years to save money, THEN transfer ONCE to a university.

Oh how I wish I could turn back time...

Stay tuned for my next post!
