I currently live in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, and attend the University of Southern Mississippi. I have been studying at this university for over a year and I have lived in Mississippi for over 2 years. I am majoring in Mass Communication and Journalism with an emphasis in public relations. I am also minoring in art, though I am thinking about changing that to English soon. It turns out that if you aren't serious about being an artist, art classes are pretty much useless.
Attending college has been a long and arduous journey for me. I've been down a few different career paths already, including film school, and I haven't really found what I'm looking for yet. I dabble in photography and have been told my work is pretty good. Unfortunately I don't really feel compelled to pursue this solely as a career. I also play the guitar, ukulele and piano, though I am not really proficient at any of these instruments.
I have been interested in journalism as a career for a while now. I love news and I love to write. The truth of it is I really just want to be in the middle of it all. Anything great happening in the world and I want to be there. So I suppose being a journalist would go hand in hand with that.
I also really love a good story, whether it's fictional or based in reality. So I suppose what I really want to do is tell stories, good stories, stories worth repeating, writing about or filming.

So, here I am at USM trying to make sense of what I want to do and how the university can help me do it. I suppose I'll figure it out one of these days. Until then, thank you for reading.
