This year has been full of surprises. One of my favorite experiences from this year has been my time spent in the journalism program at college. When I applied to the program I did not know what to expect. I was nervous about how I was going to make the transition from university to college. I had anxieties about the course work and how I was going to make friends and fit in. It all sounds so silly now that I think about it, but it felt like I was in middle school all over again. Fortunately, I did well and met some great people. As one of my instructors told me:
“It’s better to be a big fish in a small pond, than a small fish in a big pond.”I love the sense of community that exists at a small college. The class sizes are smaller so I am not nervous to speak up and participate regularly in class discussions. I also like the fact that I am able to speak to and see all of my instructors regularly.
One of my favorite subjects in the program is photography. I am so excited to try out some of the new techniques that I learned this summer. Here are some of my favorite pix that I took for my imaging class.
