Starting to come together

 As I mentioned in the previous post, I have been very negative thus far. I don't do that to be spiteful but to recognize that this was where I was at this point in my life. My sophomore year really started to improve starting in the second semester and I started to feel acclimated to my environment. 

I started to think about pursuing a second major as I was already in a good place with my intelligence degree and my electives. I thought about pursuing a degree in political science. This seemed like a logical fit due to my older brother, Logan's, familiarity with the professors. As mentioned in previous posts, a few years earlier he graduated from Mercyhurst with degrees in both Political Science and Intelligence. For one reason or another, things did not come together so I turned my eyes toward a different major...communications.

It seemed too obvious, I had already taken advanced-skills classes at a top communications program in the country at Newhouse. I set up a meeting with the at the time Dean Brian Sheridan. Brian was super welcoming and answered every question I had. He was enthusiastic about gaining another student to the program and helped me in every way possible. It felt good to continue to pursue communications in the background, as I progressed through my intelligence degree. I officially became a double-major student.

I concluded my sophomore year by being offered a job as an Underwriting Intern II by
ERIE Insurance. I accepted and started my summer. Everything finally started coming together.
