For the better part of the last 7 years my major has been Religion. Since I transferred to IPFW they only have Religious Studies as a minor. And thankfully all my Religion courses from MC transferred, so I already have the minor in Religious Studies. So I was left with the choice of what will I choose to major in?
I have had numerous fields of study interest me of late, I actually came to college seven years ago as a Religion and Psychology double major, but I found out that Psychology doesn't interest me like other areas do. You might think that the logical choice would be Philosophy, it too doesn't keep my attention in the way its sibling, Religion does. I am very interested in Sociology with the cultural aspects that tie into religion. I even flirted with the idea of Biology in order to study wildlife better. Forestry and Natural Resources fascinate me to better understand and live off the earth.
I think I have found the major that fits me the most, Anthropology. The possibility of being a Sociology major is still there but I have two courses this fall in Anthropology and I will see if it is where I see myself. First off, I think Anthropology is a better fit than anything else because of my interest in older tribal cultures (i.e. Native American, Mayan, Incan, Aborigine etc.) and initiation rites. With a certificate in Native American Studies, it will encapsulate the specific areas of study that I want for my life at the present. Keep me in your thoughts and prayers as I begin this transition, it will most likely take just under two years to complete.
