My Associates is in Political Science/Communications. I've no desire to continue in Poli Sci. Inititally, I wanted to be a broadcast journalist and thought it would be most advantageous to have a dual degree in Poli Sci and Broadcast Communications because i'd be more marketable. I've no desire to be on television and in that industry in that capacity any longer (thank god I made that decision before transferring two years ago to Emerson).

If I end up going to USC (and am accepted), my choice would be Public Relations/Music Industry. If I end up at TCNJ, it'll end up being Public Relations and possibly Business as they have no Music Industry program and i'm not ballsy enough to audition for their music program (I haven't read music in a few years and i'm totally rusty). UNC would be the same as TCNJ. No matter what, I plan on double majoring.

I started out as an electronic journalism major. I hated it and am so glad I switched majors to public relations, ironically.

That sounds like an awesome program at USC. I've heard nothing but good things about Chapel Hill, as well. Best wishes to you.

Ahhh good so i'll have someone to dish with about PR. So PR is much more enjoyable then? Totally not surprised. I want to do something fulfilling and the more I thought about it, broadcasting wouldn't be for me. Of course, I kept trying to talk myself into it (along with other people doing much of the same) and was totally freaked out because that had been my plan since...oh hell, middle school. Suddenly, no plans. Nothing. I'm happy to know that come late August, i'll be attending school full time again.

Everytime Tiff talks about USC, I become completely and totally stoked. Unfortunately, it's going to come down to finances as per usual so we'll see how much is offered, etc. It's going to be a huge determining factor and i'm doing this without financial help from the parents and others.

Thanks, Krista!!

This is so strange.... I decided I was going to be a journalism major in fifth or sixth grade. Then after 2 1/2 years of college, I just couldn't stand it and switched to PR.

But anyway, I liked PR much more than journalism. I went to a regional school, so we didn't have much opportunity in the form of businesses, etc. But they let us design and implement a campaign for the University itself; I loved it. Fun major.

I hope it all works out for you, epsecially USC.

Good luck to all those taking finals. I am happy to never have to take another final or board exam of any kind ever again. But seriously, good luck
