Why did I choose to major in public relations

When I first came to college I was determined to be an athletic trainer. I went to some of the classes, but soon decided that it was not for me. It was not until my sophomore year that I decided to look into mass communications as a major. When I started taking the pre-mass communications classes. I learned to love the major and thought that public relations might be for me.
When I first got into PR I thought that I might use it as a route to go into event planning. I have always loved planning events and figured that PR could help me get there. However, now being the program I have learned to love all aspects of the PR world. I have learned how to write press releases, brochures, make flyers, and even plan events.
The greatest thing about the mass communications program I have to say is the professors here. Being in college I have realized that if you do not have a good professor you are most likely not going to enjoy the class and I think that that is what drew me to the mass communications program. Every class that I have taken has been a challenge and definitely not an easy A, however, I have had amazing professors along the way that have made me want to go into the PR world and continue studying mass communications.
