Hello everybody!
My name is Erin Kemp, I’m a freshman from Columbus, Ohio (Go Bucks!) and I intend to major in Broadcast Journalism.
Scheduling for my first year of college was exciting because it made the whole experience seem real. I had been accepted, I had found a roommate, but nothing compared to picking out the classes that would lay the foundation for my higher education. All through school, science and math were my enemies. Except for the occasional field trip to COSI, (the most lit science venue in Columbus) I didn’t like science and math and based on quiz grades, they didn’t care for me much either. I even opted out of taking a science my senior year of high school because I couldn’t bear the thought of putting myself through the agony of another science class. Majoring in science isn’t even fathomable. At NSO, I did everything I could to avoid science and math classes. Somehow I managed to evade math for my first semester, but being advised that a GN was basically a requirement for first semester communications majors really killed my “Yay college!” vibe. In explaining the relationship science and I have, my advisor suggested I enroll in this course because it is very general and many people in this course don’t enjoy science either. I chose this class in hopes that my nemesis, science, would have a change of heart and be good to me this semester. Let’s see how that works out.
Hey Erin, i really enjoyed reading your article! I’m in the exact same situation of being a communications major who was forced to take a science class. I was upset when I realized that one of my first college classes would be a science class! I really don’t like science or math either, which is probably why we picked to major in communications instead! But I do think that this class will be really interesting, and not like other science classes that I’ve had.
