RBG & Me

I didn’t set out to get a Bachelor’s Degree in Political Science. I actually started college as an English Major. Turns out, I hated the structure of English classes. I did well in my first semester classes, but I was bored. Bored, except for one lone Government class I had with a professor who really seemed to care. I don’t know what it was exactly, but something really seemed to click. Right before Winter Break I changed my major to Political Science and never looked back.

I spent three-and-a-half years studying pre-law, domestic and international government, international relations, and politics and political theory. I spent a year researching and writing a thesis that I’m extremely proud of: National Security vs. First Amendment Rights. I loved every single second of it, and I owe it all to a couple of great professors who cared about their craft, their students, and their World, and a Supreme Court Justice who paved the way for women to be absolutely anything they want to be: R.B.G.
