These past few weeks have witnessed me working tirelessly to craft a four year schedule projection, and ultimately deciding what topics I feel are most beneficial to my career goals. In the course of my research, I’ve realized that my Criminology major has a requirement for an “Integrated Elective”, which can be satisfied by authoring a Undergraduate Research Thesis. I know that a thesis is extremely stressful, time-consuming, and difficult, but I have never been one to shy away from a challenge. If it wasn’t hard, it wouldn’t be worth doing. Besides, I can find no better way to bring together all that I have done in my classes, thereby proving to myself that I’ve actually learned the material. As for what topic I want to dedicate a year’s worth of my life to, I have absolutely no idea.
