for the next prism or SAL bake sale, I will be making badass cupcakes like these.
What do you stand for?
And what do you do about it?
This was the discussion I just had in my Mass Media class. It really made me think. So many times people care about all these different issues, but we do nothing about it. Why? I say “we” because I’m the same way.
There are several women outside on campus passing out booklets on factory farming. Most people either pass them by or look at the flyer and go EW and toss it out. Occupy New Haven is STILL out there on the green when most people have blown over the issue already. Invisible Children (whether their intentions were good or not) made that video. These people are all doing something for causes that matter to them. Props to them, seriously!
This class discussion really made me think. I mean, I’m a caring person and I always want to support certain things; like women’s rights, LGBT rights, world hunger—basically human equality. I’m more compelled to see how can I do something about it. This media studies major is becoming more and more valuable to me as the semester goes on.
I might minor in women’s studies.
I’m glad to know I’m not the only one in this boat. This has been a constant struggle throughout my entire college career. I spent two years at a community college trying to find out what my strongest interest was—what career path would be right for me. I still don’t know exactly, but at least I didn’t feel the pressure of a university tuition bill. I’ve taken several types of personality and career tests that the advisors recommend and me and my renaissance self scored evenly across the fields. -__-” I’ve switched my major a total of six times. HOPEFULLY I’m done with all the switching.
But now the even trickier part:
- For studio art, I need to pick a concentration. All I know for sure is that I want it to be three dimensional (ie: sculpture, jewelry, ceramics). I’m leaning towards jewelry because I’m really loving metal right now, but clay is so attractive :S
- for media studies, I’m still not sure what the career path of that major would be, or how these two majors can work together. I know that these were the best two majors to suit my interests. I know I have to pick a focus for media studies; I haven’t even begun to think about that. BUT if I had to decide now it’d probably be something related to women’s studies, with all my feminist tendencies and what not.
And then there’s the part where I need to actually graduate. O_O
