Why college??

As you all know we were asked to write about why we chose to further our education and go to college. Well, for me I chose to go to college to further my education, of course, and to prepare me for what I want to do after college. Right now I have no idea what I want to do after college. So that is another reason why I am here. To figure out what the heck I want to do with my life.

Back in high school all of the teachers were constantly drilling college into our minds. They always told us that everybody needed to go if they wanted to succeed in life. Which is true. Nowadays you wont go anywhere if you don't have some sort of education. So I feel that part of the reason why I went to college was because people told me that I needed to go.

One of the most popular reasons why people go to college is to get away from home, get some independence and to get away from mom and dad. That is one of my reasons for going to college. After 18 years of living with mom and dad it was time for me to get out of there and start a new chapter of my life.

You're probably wondering to yourselves. Gee Michelle, why did you chose JSU? Well when I was a freshman in high school I was in the marching band and we came here ( to JSU) and we participated in the contest of champions. Which is a marching band competition. Throughout the entire day we walked all over campus to various warming up spots and to random fields on campus so we could do some basics blocks. Even before we preformed I had already fallen in love with the campus. I though it was beautiful, and I loved how it was smaller then other major universities. But it wasn't till the end of the competition, when I saw the southerners preform, that I knew that this was the college that I wanted to go to. They blew my mind completely. I had never seen anything like them. So, my main reason for coming to JSU was so I could be a part of the marching southerners. If you missed our post game show you can watch it here!
