Sierra College

Well, one thing lead to another and I am now taking COMM 15 Media and Society at Sierra. I'm an academic enrichment student which essentially means I attend high school and college simultaneously.    I am not really sure if I want to major in communications but I love the subject and it will help me in the future regardless. So I've gone to 2 classes so far and love it. College is my cup of tea. No dress code. No bells. No one sizing you up constantly scanning you to see if your tank top is a razorback because it shows 5% more shoulder than a normal tank top. iPods and phones are encouraged. It's like heaven. My teacher, Dr. Zoffel is hilarious and has no filter. Not only is he passionate, he bases his class on discussion with students which leads to fascinating ideas because the class is so diverse. In front of me sits Michael, the first friend I made, a 25 year old who switched majors 5 times and finally decided on Communication studies. Behind me sits a 40 year old mom who is more invested in the class than anyone else. And across from me sits Warren Cain and Garrett Bank both alumni of the class of 2013 that I know rather well. Nevertheless, I have an interesting semester ahead of me. And college totally slapped me in the face too, $200 for parking + enrollment in ONE CLASS. And that is just COMMUNITY college. Oh did I meantion collectively the books were 60$? Yeah and I get 3 UC/CSU transferable credits but that's actually less than some of the APs I've taken. Anyways, I'm in it for the knowledge. Something I learn there will most definitely help me be a better journalism editor. In conclusion, community college is affordable and cool but take advantage of those APs!
