Whenever I tell someone that I'm an English Major they automatically ask me if I want to be a teacher. The answer is absolutely not. When I first got to college that was the plan and that's what landed me at Longwood University. I quickly learned that teaching wasn't really for me.

The second question usually is, "So are you going to be a writer?" Again, the answer is no. I would love to have a job where I can write something, anything, and that leaves me with enough spare time to write for myself. That said, I'm not a creative writer nor am I interested in journalism.

Last year I learned that I love Professional and Rhetorical Writing and so I've picked that as my concentration. It's a majorly interesting course of study that really delves into real world writing. I also like to deconstruct the meaning of nonliterary texts in order to see what they say about the "author/creator" and who they intend as their audience.

When looking through the catalog it's interesting to look at a design and see what size and style sold out first. I think that says a lot about who the design appeals to and about the designer as well. Who knows, maybe some day I'll write about that.
