Hello! My name is Dania and this will be my final year at OSU (after a ten-year journey). Back when I wanted to be a pharmacist, I majored in pre-pharmacy, then microbiology, then bioresource research, then several other majors until I had to force myself to take a break and reevaluate my life. I finally settled on computer science after six years of this. It was more of a last resort because there weren’t too many majors left that I had already tried that were available online. It wasn’t even the first time I had majored in computer science but it was definitely the one that stuck. Now that I’ve made it to the capstone, I’ll be chronicling my experience with the year-long project and some other tidbits about my life.
To start off, I live in Albany, OR. I currently work at the Target warehouse and have been there for three years now. Before that, I had worked at a few different pharmacies in Albany, Lebanon, and Corvallis. It was working at the Walgreens pharmacy that made me realize that I didn’t want to be a pharmacist anymore. Though working at Target can be quite laborious, they do fully pay for my tuition, which is great, and there’s no customers, which is even better.
After I finally graduate, I plan on going to law school. I don’t really have a preference for where I want to go. I’ll be happy getting into any law school. I’m currently studying for the LSAT, which I need an excellent score on to have any hope of getting accepted after tanking my GPA trying to decide on a major. This will be my second time taking it after the humbling experience of getting a pretty low score after thinking that I would be fine not doing any preparation.
This is the first official week of the term, and I just recently listed my top six choices for the capstone project. I’ll find out soon what project I’ll be working on. We’ll see how it goes juggling my three classes, work, and studying for the LSAT.
Until then, see you next time!
