What's Been Going On?

I have been missing in action from my Wise project and blog lately. I signed up for this class because I thought it would give me more of an insight on what my desired future career has in store for me and either make or break my plans. So far, it has only left me more intrigued and wanting to experience more tours or insight into the criminal justice field. I have been deciding on college lately as the decision date approached a lot quicker than I had thought it possibly could have. Suddenly in an instant I was being forced to decide before it was too late to send in my deposit. My intentions were to double major in psychology and criminal justice/criminology. Hoewever, due to financial circumstances I have decided to attend Binghamton University in the fall. Unfortunately, Binghamton does not offer a major in criminal justice. However, my compromise with my father was if I saved him money on tuition by attending a SUNY university that didn't have one of my intended majors then I wouldn't get any problems when it came time to study abroad. Part of my decision was based on this factor. The amount of opportunities I will have at my fingertips is exponentially greater due to making this economically wiser decision. There is a national student exchange program that allows students attending Binghamton to study at another University in the country for just about the same tuition as you would be paying at the SUNY school, but all over the country. I have already looked into possibly getting credits towards a degree in criminal justice while being in this program, and it is possible. Idealistically, there is the University of St. Thomas in the Virgin Islands, Universities in Hawaii and other tropical locations that would be incredible to experience since who knows when the next time an opportunity like that would arise if it ever would again.
