Communications Studies

I'm in the final week of this semester. So it's crazy busy and stressful.

But through all of the madness and excitement to go home, 

I've been thinking about how awesome my classes have been this semester.

And so, I have decided that as each class ends I'm going to write about that class.

That way I can remember all the awesome stuff I learned this semester.

And then I'll delete that class' work from my computer. Which is something I may or may not look forward to every semester....

This morning I finished Comms Studies. Which is a big bummer if you ask me.

Comms studies has been the best class I have ever taken. 

I've never stayed interested in a class throughout the whole semester, and I couldn't get enough in this one. 

I really was a little sad to turn in my final today. But oh well, life will go on.

In this class I learned theories that explain why people communicate the way they do. I learned how to have efficient communication (unfortunately that knowledge hasn't seemed to have been put into practice just yet). I learned a bunch of really cool meanings behind nonverbal ques that we give out all the time. I learned how the media affects the way we perceive the world around us. I learned how to be better at persuasion, (this also hasn't been very efficient in the real world just yet). I learned the why communication is so important and how it can make or break something. Most of the things that I learned weren't huge, wonderful things that I had never ever thought of before. But they were small, simple things that I went "Oh duh, that makes perfect sense." and I could see those situations in my daily life. Most importantly, I learned the difference between studying because you have to and studying because you are interested. 

Goodbye communication studies. You've been wonderful.
