A Love for the Medieval

I have many interests; communications, public relations, anthropology...the list goes on & on. One of my more specified interests is medieval history - what a fascinating period of time!

 There's a certain romance to the period; the ideas of knights in shining armor, chivalry, princesses, adventure. It's truly captivating.

While in college, I'm planning to delve into medieval studies research. I think it would be so exciting to travel to Europe and tour medieval castles and really investigate the period. What's really great is that most of my colleges that I'm considering actually offer some sort of medieval studies program, either as a minor or a certificate. I'm definitely going to look into that at whatever college I end up in.

Everyone has varying interests, and medieval history is one of mine. I'm very excited to begin studying it officially!

College Decisions

One of the best feelings in the world is the feeling of happiness & relief you feel when you get a college acceptance letter in the mail. I've been lucky enough so far to have gotten into five of my seven colleges, which makes me feel great!

I can't wait to go to college. The freedom is what I'm most excited for; having the ability to make my own decisions about how I want to spend my time. I can take my classes, do my homework, but then use the rest of my time to do whatever I want! I'm super excited for that.

I'm also really excited to start taking classes in my majors, so I can start focusing on learning what I really want to learn instead of having to learn everything like in high school.

I can't wait to embark on the college adventure - I still don't know where I'm going, but I can't wait to find out! :)
