The course load at Framingham State has really got me thinking about how much effort I put into my academics. I hardly do any homework and take an hour to write a 6 page paper simply because....I can. I'm not saying that I am a genius (although true) it is just that these courses, and this institution are not that demanding. I know this may seem really odd that I am complaining about the lack of work but I figure that if I am paying $20,000 I want to make it count.
I can imagine that the workload when I get to Salem State will be more up to par with what I am used to. However, this has also gotten me thinking that maybe I need to step it up when it comes to school. I'm not at AU anymore, and while just having a college degree is amazing, it is not going to carry as much weight at a school like GW, which I jut can't afford. That being said- I think I have a way to remedy that.
Right now I am an English major and secondary education minor. Cool. But now I am also really interested in communications and more specifically things like public relations. So I was thinking of double majoring in English and communications with a minor in secondary education. But here's where it gets even better. Since I was looking at all of my courses and stuff I realized that once I get to Salem I am two credits away from an italian minor as well.
The real trouble is that I am kind of equally attached to all of these subjects and I don't want to let any of them go. The problem is that I don't know where I have transferred so much that I have so much catching up to do that I can't accomplish this by Spring 2015 even with 2 summer semesters.
That is my other concern as well. What if I spend just as much money on these extra courses than I would have for one degree from American...
But I think that this would be a really good thing for me. Keep me busy, let me have plenty of options. At orientation I'm going to see if this is even in the realm of possibility but I'm ready for a challenge
