What it means to me

When I first decided to become a Communication Studies major, I did not really know why. I was not into school and just going through the motions. I knew I wanted to be an event coordinator, but I didn't really think I wanted to do school. This, of course, was while I was doing my G.E at community college before I took any communication classes. Once I took my first communication class, which was a gender communication class at my community college, I fell in love. I have enjoyed every single communication class since and began to really take school seriously. Everything about communication studies interests me. I have taken gender, intercultural, interpersonal, group, self and society, and training and development classes and enjoyed them all. I will say gender was the most interesting, and I also like intercultural and personal. I enjoy classes that help the development of relationships, such as gender, interpersonal, and intercultural. This is kind of interesting because that does not have much to do with my career path too much, which is event coordinating, but I think it will help when working with clients. It will help me develop a relationship with them. I enjoy these classes that help the development of your relationships because, as the title of my blog states, communication is key. I cannot help but notice when two people may argue or misunderstand each other because of their communication. I hate watching movies when things spiral so out of control because of a little miscommunication. The relationships in your life are extremely important to your well-being. Having good communication within those relationships keeps them healthy. Describing communication studies as a field is hard since it is so broad. When I am asked by my friends, "What is a communications major? What do you do?" I either get that I want to go into radio/ TV or you just learn to talk. I never know how to describe it to them. And I still do not know how to describe it now. As I stated previously, I want to be an event coordinator. Hopefully a communication degree will help me establish relationships with my clients, bridge gaps between differing cultures, and also be able to communicate my needs to my team or co-workers. There are many ways that a communication degree would be beneficial, in any field really. No matter what, it will help me out.
