I’m gonna take you all from being passive consumers, to being active creators.

— Prof. Chambers

On Tuesday, January 14th, I began my first day in the class Introduction to Mass Communications MSCM 2400. I enrolled in the class because I recently changed my major from Business Administration to Mass Communications, so this class was required for the major. Although the class was mandatory, I’m happy that I have to take it because it made me realize that changing my major was the right decision. After spending 30 minutes in this class, I realized that I was finally in the major that centered around all of the skills that I’d spent my life trying to work on. Since I was a child, I’ve dedicated a lot of time towards creative writing and acting, because these were 2 hobbies that I loved the most. Therefore, I realized that if what I really loved to do was entertain, that it made no sense to be a business major, even though I’d convinced myself that business was the most practical choice. However, after my first day in Intro to Mass Communications, I realized that my whole life was about to change. It was invigorating to be surrounded by people who shared similar aspirations as me and for the first time in my college career, I felt like I actually was doing what I was supposed to be doing.
