What is Public Relations?
When I graduated from high school, I was CERTAIN that criminal justice was the right path for me. I loved Law & Order: SVU and thought that being a criminal psychologist would be the absolute coolest job ever. Can y’all believe I took an Intro to Criminal Justice class my first semester and HATED it? My professor was great and I did enjoy the class but I knew criminal justice was NOT the right decision for me.
I knew I needed to pick a major and it needed to happen quickly so that I wouldn’t be in school for 1,000 years. I knew that I enjoyed writing, event planning, and social media so after speaking with an old high school teacher, I decided Communications would be the best fit for me. After taking Introduction to Communications, I knew that I had chosen the PERFECT major for me.
Public Relations was right for me because I actually found myself enjoying the coursework, actively listening in lectures, and just genuinely being excited to attend class. I would always look forward to the assignments and projects and really had fun getting to interact with my classmates and professors.
Truthfully, I'm so excited about my major and I absolutely love when people ask what my degree will be in and it leads to a long conversation. Most people always assume that my major is nursing or business so it's always really cool for me to be able to explain what I plan on doing in the future. Public Relations is unknown to a lot of people and foreign territory and I getting to inform people about how amazing it is will always be one of my favorite things!
