<\/p>\nWhen it comes to your college career \u2013 maybe you\u2019ve got it all figured out, maybe not. I know I certainly didn\u2019t upon entering college, and I\u2019ve learned that\u2019s perfectly okay! The college experience is uniquely different for everyone \u2013 no two experiences will be identical. I\u2019ve learned so much throughout the change that I\u2019ve endured, and it has allowed me to reflect on the past four years, to see how I\u2019ve grown not only as a student, but as an individual. Many people come into college assuming that their academics will be their primary learning source. However, I believe that a bulk of my learning has been done outside of the college classroom.<\/p>\n
As a senior in high school, everyone asked me what I wanted to do. As any indecisive high school student, I answered \u201cI don\u2019t know,\u201d and that was true up until the tail end of my freshman year of college.<\/p>\n
I came in to Grove City College as a Communication Studies major, and it wasn\u2019t until I took a Principles of Marketing course that I would recognize where my real calling is \u2013 business. As I sat in that course, I was deeply intrigued by the many facets of business that we discussed in that class. I loved the fast paced and ever-changing environment that the business world had to offer. It was that single class that made me ask myself the question \u2013 \u201cwhat do I really<\/em> want to do with my life.\u201d It was because of this class that I decided to officially change my major to Entrepreneurship.<\/p>\n If you would have asked me what Entrepreneurship was my senior year of high school, I would have told you I had no idea. And to be quite honest, I still to this day sometimes struggle in spelling the word. My newfound major of Entrepreneurship has allowed me to experience a new side of life and a new side of me. I have found creative and innovative freedom through this major, as well as new skills to accompany those. I\u2019m glad that I took the leap of faith in changing my major, because it has changed me for the better.<\/p>\n Now, I just made that sound like a piece of cake because I really enjoy my new major. However, sometimes it\u2019s really hard to get where you want to be, especially if the major transition doesn\u2019t work. Luckily, since I was switching disciplines within<\/em> the school of arts and letters, I had very little issue in making the switch. I was a few credits behind, but I was able to make that up through some a summer class, an intersession, and some overtime credits.<\/p>\n If there\u2019s one thing I can leave you with, it\u2019s this \u2013 don\u2019t think that if you come in as one major, you can\u2019t graduate as another. As of now, I am on track to graduate with a major in Entrepreneurship with a minor in Communication Studies. And just think \u2013 I only started out as Communications! Remember, there\u2019s no glass ceiling on what you can do when your mind\u2019s put to it and your heart\u2019s in it. Follow God\u2019s call for your life \u2013 He won\u2019t lead you astray. A lot of the time that leap of faith \u2013 whether it be changing your major, auditioning for the musical, or trying out for a sport \u2013 takes obedience on our part to get God\u2019s blessing in our lives.<\/p>\n I encourage you \u2013 don\u2019t settle for something you don\u2019t want. Go after what GOD wants for your life!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" When it comes to your college career \u2013 maybe you\u2019ve got it all figured out, maybe not.
