I am a Communications major who is concurrently pursuing a Certificate in Technical and Professional Writing. Up until recently I was a Psych major as well, but when I discovered the TPW Certificate program I had to weigh my options since there was no way I could complete that as well as a double major in four years. On the one hand, I only have one more year in the double major to go. On the other hand, Psych has absolutely no relation to what I want to pursue in terms of my career goals, and the Certificate would not only look good on a resume and provide additional credentials, the courses I will take are definitely beneficial. I can't count the number of times I have sat through Psych exams and written essays and wanted to shoot myself in the face. It's so boring and I could care less about it since I know I will never need it. For the first time in a long time, I'm actually looking forward to school next year and am motivated to do well. We'll see what really happens next year I guess haha.
In my Professional life, I have been working part-time as a Communications Assistant for the past 6 months. Since I have to move back to my hometown/Toronto for the summer I had to quit that job but they said they definitely want me back for next year! I already have a job offer for a position in Online Marketing and Web Development, but I also have 2 other interviews this week for internships in Corporate Communications, which is what I really want to get into. I guess we'll see how they go and find out from there. All 3 positions are downtown, so I am most likely moving there for the summer. I'll offer to pay my own rent (for the first time, ever!) which I am not excited about, but I am excited to live on my own (no roommates like during school!) and also to get away from my hometown (not because of family, but other stuff that will be discussed later).
Anyways, thats all for now. More to come!
