Hello, it’s me. Can you hear me?

So it’s been a few months hasn’t it? Well some big things happened in that short span. 1st off i’m going to London for spring break, I even got a $700 scholarship! The school of business at Utah State University has a program where they go to London over spring break and my instructor, 15 or so other students, and myself will be meeting with businesses in London to get a feel for how business in other markets work. We may even go to a Primer League game while we’re over there so I am stoked!

Last semester i got a 4.0 GPA while taking mainly business classes. In high school I got a 4.0 my entire senior year and that was a cakewalk compared to getting a 4.0 in college. This semester i’m taking: Accounting 2020, Management Information Systems 3200, Marketing 3500, Music 3030 (History of Rock and Roll), Landscape Architecture Enviornmental Planning (LAEP) 1030, and Business 2000 (London). I’m already a week in and I know that it’s going to be a lot harder than last semester. Well the good thing is that upon completion of my LAEP class I’ll have my associates degree, so that is exciting.

I’m at a crossroad with I want to do with my academic career. I want to go to the University of Utah but It would be so expensive compared to USU. Plus the headache of transferring credits and having to take different classes at the U. It was an impulse decision to come to USU, my best friend was going to come here after his mission and we were going to room, but i’ve been emailing him and he doesn’t want to room with me anymore. I thought USU was going to be fun, but it isn’t. This past year and a half i’ve been at USU is the most alone and separated i’ve ever felt. The school itself is fine, the teachers are great, but my life consists of going to work, going to class and sitting alone, then coming home and doing whatever. My roommate always has his girlfriend over so that would be weird to hand with them, then all of my other “friends” are always busy or don’t reply. You’d think i’d be used to being alone because i’m only child, but this id different.

Another thing i’m at a crossroad with is what to do with my professional career. Right now my major is Marketing but i’m thinking about changing to Finance if I like the finance classes I take in the spring. I’m also thinking of airing that with a Economics major with prelaw emphasis, so i’d dual major. The reason I want to do that is because I have no clue what I want to do, and everything is going too fast for me to figure it out. So this way i’m hoping that I can cover more ground. Maybe down the road I want to go to Law School like my grandfather, then i’d have that option open. If I wanted to get an MBA, i’d have that open. I’m just really scared that i’ll end up with something I hate.

Thanks for reading, and you stay classy!
