College major and minor

After spending 4 years in highschool i was given very little exposure of what other fields are out their other than journalism, which is the only field our school offers us to expose to since we are a journalism based school. Although many of the possible majors did seem quite foreign to me, I eventually came to choosing marketing as my major and sociology as my minor. Marketing seemed attractive to me because I enjoy the whole aspect of speaking in front of people and coming up with creative ideas to get people's attention. Although I was never fond of group work, I am confident that i will overcome this fear because this is much of what marketing entails. Sociology seems interesting to me because it deals with the study of relationships between people and I feel you would need to have an understanding of this if you want to go into marketing and advertising. Overall I am not sure if these 2 choices will stick out through the remainder of college, however I remain confident that I will be given the opportunity of exposing myself to new ideas and material throughout college. Something in High school that I did not get the opportunity to recieve.

Rejection Letter

As of recently I had recieved an email from Queens College. It stated "Unfortunately, based on your academic record, we are unable to offer you admission to the college at this time." Although some people would be angry at the world after an email like that, my outlook has remained positive. I don't exactly have a dream college, my confidence remains in Hartwick college. This is because they don't look at act or sat grades making admission seem alot more promising. For the next few weeks i plan on hearing back from the many SUNYS applied to, and hopefully they will at me for the student i am in school rather than my performance on my board exams.
