Well, my name is Ashley. I'm a Junior at UW-Whitewater and double majoring with Multimedia Digital Arts and Advertising. I started college with intentions of being a business major, emphasizing in Operations Management. However, once I've dipped my feet into some business classes my freshman year, I realized it was absolutely not for me. This left me frazzled, forcing me to ask myself "what should I do with my life?" I've always had a deep passion for art and knew that it was my happy place. But, I also have always had a deep passion for money. So that left a problem. Starving artists aren't called starving artists for nothing. After pondering all my options, my mom suggested for me to be a multimedia major, as technology is on the rise and it would be an indemand field. I figured why not, I'll try it out and once I took a couple classes, I knew it was the major for me. After a year of taking classes within my new field, I figured Advertising would be a great degree to correspond with Multimedia.
Throughout my young life, I have changed so many ideas on what I wanted to do when I grew up, ranging from acting to medicine, not knowing what was meant for me. Now that I'm older, I feel that I am so lucky to have finally figured out what I wanted to do early on within my college career rather than wasting time on a field that I wasn't passionate about. Have you ever felt stuck with what you wanted to do with your life?
