Extra Credit Blog - The end of the chapter.
So, I am on the last stretch before I actually graduate with my Masters Degree! HOW FREAKING CRAZY! I thought a perfect blog idea to summarize this chapter of my life would be to compare my 4 years at a NAIA Division II school to my experience at this NCAA Division I school. Obviously the first difference was coming here and taking online classes. I had never taken an online class before so that was a huge transition to be. Having to relearn a new system and understanding expectations from different teachers was well we will just leave it at that and say it was interesting as I learned the difference between using the word largest and biggest! The second difference was seeing how much harder it was to make friends here! Obviously working in the dome my boss had a strict no hanging out/going out with athletes policy, so check off the students that I actually did see on a regular basis. It's obvious that at my undergrad I was thrown with the same group of people when I was awkward and 18 so it was much easier to make friends especially since I was on a sports team. Now don't get me wrong, I am now 23, but still awkward. My friends became the coaches of the teams, the people in the athletic offices, and a special shout out to my roommate, Alexa, what a life saver she was getting me adjusted to such a big scary place. Overall, I must admit, the town of Vermillion grew on me a little bit, and so did the friends I made. With that being said, Happy Graduation to those of you who are graduating with me, may we find a job that makes us happy....and rich. To those of you with a few classes left- Good luck with the rest of your classes!!!

Congrats on being so close to graduating, Jenna! What are you plans after this? Also, I'm sure you've mentioned it during the semester, but what did you do for the athletic department? I worked with them but in a third-party type of way. I worked at Coyote Sports Properties, a third-party marketing arm, so we weren't stationed in the Dome.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on being so close to finishing your Masters! I'm right there with you, got 6 credits left but hopefully will find a career to start before I finish. Been great sharing this past year with you and your insight in all of our classes. Best of Lucky moving forward!
