Beginning my senior year at Rutgers University.\u00a0Now in the home stretch of\u00a0completing\u00a0my degree and preparing to graduate from college.\u00a0How surreal to think that (assuming everything goes as planned&#8230;) this will\u00a0be my final year of college.<\/p>\n<p><strong>I have somehow managed to essentially switch my major every year I have been here.<\/strong> As a freshman, I entered Rutgers as a business student.\u00a0Following a significant\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/therockysafari.com\/2014\/02\/13\/life-changing-revelation-bye-business-im-going-pre-med\/\">revelation<\/a>, I decided to transfer out and follow the pre-medical track instead. I\u00a0spent my sophomore year taking the appropriate science classes. The first weekend of my junior year, I had a slightly more panicked\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/therockysafari.com\/2015\/09\/12\/psychiatrist-or-psychologist\/\">existential crisis<\/a> realizing my college career was now more than halfway over and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/therockysafari.com\/2014\/11\/16\/can-a-type-b-personality-get-into-med-school\/\">medical school lost much of its appeal.<\/a>\u00a0So I switched to Psychology.<\/p>\n<p>I managed to start and essentially finish\u00a0my major last year alone. Having my boyfriend&#8217;s support along the way made a huge difference in tackling all of the course requirements. Now, I am left with my entire senior year to start and finish\u00a0whatever\u00a0my minor shall be.\u00a0With a new plan for myself in mind, <strong>I&#8217;ve decided to go full circle, back to the Business School,\u00a0for a\u00a0minor in Entrepreneurship<\/strong>. I have a few ventures in mind and I think the additional business skills will be a great asset. On that note, let&#8217;s jump into my Fall 2016 Senior Year Course Schedule. (Heads up: there is <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">a lot<\/span> of entrepreneurial <em>stuff<\/em>&#8230;)<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Introduction to Entrepreneurship<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-21463 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.therockysafari.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/introtoent.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"695\" height=\"530\" srcset=\"\/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=695,height=530,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/introtoent.jpg 695w, \/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=300,height=229,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/introtoent.jpg 300w, \/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=290,height=221,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/introtoent.jpg 290w, \/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=407,height=310,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/introtoent.jpg 407w, \/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=512,height=390,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/introtoent.jpg 512w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 695px) 100vw, 695px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Introduction to Entrepreneurship is, like its name suggests, an introductory class.

Part of my reasoning for switching out of the Business School was to avoid having to take accounting and finance. And look at where this got me! Right back into classes for accounting and finance. But you know what, I&#8217;m actually glad. I&#8217;m up for the challenge and there&#8217;s no denying how useful background in these subjects can be for anyone really. I was determined to take biology and chemistry just to see how challenging they really were.

Now there&#8217;s no more running. The time to tackle it is here. And if nothing else, I&#8217;m hoping to leave feeling similar to how I felt when I took micro and macroeconomics: that it was super difficult but extremely informative in making smarter business &amp; monetary decisions. Also, my high school graduating class was one of the last ones to slip through before taking a finance class became a graduation requirement. Hopefully, this covers any potential educational gap in that area.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Abnormal Psychology Lab<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-21458 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.therockysafari.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/abnormallab.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"840\" height=\"557\" srcset=\"\/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=840,height=557,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/abnormallab.jpg 840w, \/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=300,height=199,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/abnormallab.jpg 300w, \/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=768,height=509,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/abnormallab.jpg 768w, \/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=290,height=192,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/abnormallab.jpg 290w, \/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=407,height=270,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/abnormallab.jpg 407w, \/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=800,height=530,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/abnormallab.jpg 800w, \/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=512,height=340,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/abnormallab.jpg 512w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 840px) 100vw, 840px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Last but not least, my one NOT entrepreneurship class: Abnormal Psychology Lab! This three-hour 1 credit lab is the final class I need to completely satisfy all of my major&#8217;s requirements. Since <a href=\"https:\/\/therockysafari.com\/2015\/01\/24\/im-going-to-be-a-teachers-assistant-for-abnormal-psychology-this-semester\/\">Abnormal Psychology<\/a> was my favorite course (aside from maybe neuropsychopharmacology) I figured this would\u00a0be the\u00a0lab of greatest interest to me.
