My Major and Future

 Do you see planning things out as a good thing or a bad thing? Are you a planner, yourself?  There are many different opinions on being a planner and figuring out what to do, what schedules to follow, or what things need to be done. I, myself, love to plan but need to be limited to the number of things I plan.  Here are some reasons why planning can be a great thing for an individual. 1. Planning creates goals that drive an individual 2. It directs attention toward a specific thing.  3. Planning helps to maximize the amount of time you spend on an activity, allowing more activities for you to be a part of. 4. It provides motivation and commitment. Despite these (and many others) reasons listed above, there can also be some downfalls to being a planner. Some of these reasons include: 1. Planning ties someone down to something they might want to do now but doesn't mean they want to do it in the future. 2. Things change, which means your planning will be changing, causing discouragem

 Many people choose to create a bucket list, whether in writing framed on a wall or just a mental note in their head.

As someone who has begun to fall more in love with traveling and trying things out of my comfort zone, I believe I will be able to successfully cross some of these items off the list.  From my list, you may have noticed that I am someone who is very adventurous and wants to try many new things t

As someone who began college unsure of what to do with their future, I have been able to create a deeper foundation for what my future will look like. Recently, I was able to fully declare my plan of study, as I have been able to take classes related to each of my majors, a minor, and numerous certificates that give me an idea of what I would be working with. I was able to declare my double majors in Business Administration and Finance, my minor in Banking, and my certificates in Entrepreneurship, Private Enterprises, and Sales. With each of these additional steps in my academic career, I plan to fulfill a critical business role in the future.  You may be wondering why I chose to have two majors, and on top of that, add a minor. As if that wasn't enough, you may think I am crazy for adding not one, but THREE additional certificates to my study plan. However, I have a love for each of these areas and thoroughly enjoy being able to increase my knowledge in them. My dream has always b
