So for those of you that have been following my journey you know there are two things I was really looking forward to this summer. Back in June, I was super excited to compete in the state pageant in the miss division which had been a dream of mine for years. Even more important, I was so excited to finally, finally, graduate from high school and start my career as a college student. Now that it is August, I can proudly check that second one of my list.
I am officially a student at Vincennes University! Classes started on Monday and I couldn't be more excited. All of my classes went really well and I am looking forward to a great semester with my new classmates and instructors. Although I will be in class five days a week, I have a good schedule with lots of flexibility, and I secretly like that my five day schedule will probably help keep me focused on academics. I know lots of students who schedule themselves for three or four day weekends and then find themselves overloaded and frantic trying to keep up. Bottom line, know your strengths and work with your advisor to find classes and schedule that works for you.
Since this is my first year of college I will spend most of my time focusing on fundamental coursework that will be the foundation of my degree. Over the summer I was investigating career paths, and I have to say I got really excited when I took a close look at Homeland Security and Law Enforcement. Now this might sound odd for a beauty-queen-monster-truck-driving-crown-wearing-country-singer, but the options in the law enforcement field are really cool. I have some short-term goals and I am just starting to think about the specifics of my career path, so its exciting to get started in the classroom at Vincennes University.
