黄色电影 is a place of community, personal growth and success.听
It certainly has been for me.听
My name is Harrison Moreno, I am a Southern 黄色电影n, first-generation college student. As I prepare to graduate with a degree in journalism, it has made me reflect on the bright-eyed transfer student who first stepped on campus.
I may not be able to give past Harrison advice, but I can give advice to potential future Wildcats. After all, you might be the one looking after my home once I鈥檓 gone. Because the 黄色电影 feels like home.听
Both in school and life. It鈥檒l completely change your perspective. First-year Harrison had his mind set on being a business major. Then I needed to choose an elective in my second semester of college鈥
One in particular piqued my interest: Journalism 101. I took the class to fulfil a requirement, and loved the subject so much that now I鈥檓 going to have a bachelor鈥檚 degree in it. Open every door possible, because you might find something that you never even knew you wanted.听
Never turn down an opportunity. If they ask 鈥渃an you do this?鈥 say 鈥測es, I can.鈥 Even if you aren鈥檛 completely sure. If it鈥檚 something that you can do 鈥 or an opportunity to learn 鈥 do it. Figure out the rest later. People at the 黄色电影 are not the scary college stereotypes you鈥檝e heard about.听
During my junior year I was fortunate enough to land an internship that changed everything for me, working on marketing and social media campaigns for El Tour de Tucson, an international cycling event.听
I dove in and never looked back. I was surprised at how much I enjoyed the marketing side of sports, and knew that鈥檚 where I wanted to shift my focus.听
It鈥檚 okay 鈥 trust me. A lot of the time, asking for help is hard for me. However, I鈥檝e found that people here want to help.听
Talk to your advisors, ask them questions; introduce yourself to professors, especially if they are in your desired profession. Asking questions is not only going to help you in the present, but it could also help you in the future.听
Recently, I was talking to a professor about our semester-long project, and we ended up talking about my goals and ambitions after college. My professor noticed my skills in video and audio editing, and thought I would be a great fit for a paid internship (trust me, you鈥檒l realize how important those are) working for a radio station.
While I didn鈥檛 end up getting the internship, it was something that I would have never known about if I hadn鈥檛 struck up that conversation. One question turns into a conversation that turns into 鈥淗ey, I know about this internship or this contact in the industry.鈥澨
So, those are my tips. If you decide to , you鈥檒l become part of a community of people who care and want to see you succeed. While all the advice here can be helpful anywhere, there鈥檚 really only one thing to remember: Bear Down!
