A little educational summary about myself:
I am currently a Senior at Western Kentucky University studying Anthropology as a major and Studio Art as a minor. My concentrations are Archaeology and Cultural Resource Management. I started out my college career wanting to be a large and small animal Veterinarian. Majoring in Biology and minoring in Chemistry, I learned after a year that I really disliked Biology. Sure, the lab of dissection was fun, but the lectures were utterly boring to me. I tried to compromise and tell myself, "Well, a veterinary technician would be an alright job." However after a semester of that running through my mind, I decided I was done settling for "an alright job." I enjoyed Biological Anthropology when I took the class as an elective, so I went out on a limb and changed my major to Anthropology. After yet another semester of boring Chemistry classes, I went out on another limb and changed my minor to Studio Art. I've always been good at art so I thought, "what's the worst that could happen?" Spring semester of 2014 turned out to be my best semester so far at Western Kentucky. I absolutely loved my classes, I actually like the textbooks I'm required to have, I'm actually making A's now, and I actually have friends in my classes. While being a Biology and Chemistry student, I didn't have friends in my classes. I just didn't click with them. It wasn't my niche. Anthropology, Archaeology, CRM classes, and Art are my niches. It's as if I belong there; as if it's meant to be.
