I am a senior at TTU. My major is Communications-Public Relations with a concentration in Digital Media and a minor in Speech Communication. Yes, that is a mouthful, but I love it! I chose this major because I love to read and write. Also, I never enjoyed math or science enough to pursue careers involving either subject. I am a grammar nazi. I hate when people misuse the forms of "to", "too", "there", "their", "they're", "your", and "you're". I love to sit and read a good book such as the Divergent series by Veronica Roth, or any book by Karen Kingsbury or James Patterson. (Check them out!) When I go to the beach, I spend hours in a chair on the shoreline. As the water comes up over my feet, I dig my toes in the sand and get lost in the main character of the book. I love books wrote in first person because I can become that character.
"When I read books, it is an escape. Escape from people, work, and reality. When you want to get away, just grab a book."
I also keep a journal. It isn't a "oh, here's what I ate today.." or even a "he's just so cute, I wonder if he likes me.." sort of journal. This journal has my church notes, my devotionals, quotes, life verses, and my true feelings about what I want out of life. When I am mad, writing it all out is the best escape.
"When you write for yourself, that's true passion."
When I need encouragement, I go back to it and find some of the verses I have written down. My favorite to reread in times of trouble or heartache is:
However, as it is written:
“What no eye has seen,
what no ear has heard,
and what no human mind has conceived”
the things God has prepared for those who love him.
what no ear has heard,
and what no human mind has conceived”
the things God has prepared for those who love him.
1 Corithians 2:9
Now, I think you could guess that I might be creative.. Well, I am. I love Pinterest. Absolutely addicted to it. I enjoy making crafts and I wish I had the money to make more of them. I also scrapbook. I have for about 7 years now. I am really excited about the one I am currently working on! I will share a few pages with you once I have finished. :)
So, there's a little bit of information on who I am. It also sort of explains why I chose Communications as my major. One day I'll give you the long, detailed story of how I got to this major. I wasn't always a Comm major... Another day, loves.
