CREDO: trust your instinct, follow your passion

 Trust your instinct, follow your passion.

I always knew how much I loved to write, but I never knew if that meant I could make a living doing it. I went into UNH as undeclared, and spent my freshman year trying everything from family sociology to health management and policy. But the only class I truly enjoyed all year was in English, so I became a journalism major. And as a journalism major I learned I didn't want to be a journalist. So I switched to communications. But as a communications major I learned that I didn't enjoy school if I didn't get to write. It was that simple.

I could say that over the past two years I have learned how much I love to write, but you can't learn something you already know. Instead, I learned the importance of trusting your instinct, and if you are lucky enough to find a passion in life- follow it. Which is why I am declaring my fourth and final major as English.
