If you've known me for a while, you probably know that I have a lot of different interests. A non-exhaustive, broad list of my interests (in no particular order) includes English (writing and literature), Physics, Chemistry, Environmental Science, Economics, Psychology, Sociology, History, Geology, Engineering, Computer Programming, Graphic Design, Biology, Linguistics, Anthropology, Origami, Music, Cooking/Baking, and more. I had difficulty picking a major when I first started college, and my specific career interest based on that major kept changing. In fact, the more I studied in college, the bigger the list of interests grew.
So what education did I actually pursue in all of this? I got an English Degree.
I changed to English after I helped someone edit a book there were writing, volunteering for it because I felt I had a pretty good grasp of language and grammar. I enjoyed doing it and felt I should go into writing and editing professionally, so I went and got a Bachelors of Arts in English, with an emphasis in Rhetoric and Professional Writing.
But since I've gotten the degree, I've also realized I wasn't getting an education for pursuing just that one interest. I was in some ways getting an education to pursue all of them. That's the thing about writing, you have to have a topic to write about, or else writing is just incoherent jumble of words and sentences. Writing allows me to pursue any subject or interest I want, by writing about it.
Because of this, dear blog readers, I hope you're prepared for me to write about anything that strikes my fancy. Unless I found a topic that just clicks for me to keep writing about again and again, I won't have just one. Here goes!
