Two Weeks left. Deciding on a college?
I know the college-deciding process can be daunting. If you have made your decision already, congratulations. If you are still deciding what college to go to, don’t worry, you still have some time. If you have any questions at all, you can post them or email me. OR you have the option of chatting with me online at firegirl720. Whatever college you decide to go to, good luck and I’d love to meet you. I’m honest (look at picture below).
As I am finishing up my last two weeks, I am looking forward to the summer, but It has given me time to reflect about my freshman year. And what a whirlwind it has been! I’d love to talk to you about it online and through several reflective posts. I’ll be honest. I promise.

How do you like the Journalism program there? I’m considering it but I’m undecided as to where I want to go.

Sorry it has taken me so long to respond Sara. I absolutely love the journalism school! It is the place to go if you want to do journalism. They tell us that we are “the best of the best” and I would have to agree. The first few classes are Principles of American Journalism, Cross Cultural Journalism and News Writing. Every J-student has to take these classes. These are large lecture hall classes that seem to be “weeding-out” the class, but they are not too bad at all. Then the classes in a particular sequence start (which is the real fun).
This semester I am taking News Writing and the pre-convergence class. I can’t wait! I know that I will get hands-on experience. The journalism school’s approach is to give the students the tools by hands-on experience taught by professors who have been reporters and editors. This is known as the “Missouri Method.” In addition, there are so many Mizzou J-school graduates that are practicing journalism across the country, they form the “Mizzou Mafia.” which makes it makes it easier to find jobs and internships. If you have any other questions, please ask!!
