Currently a junior at Old Dominion University, working toward earning my Bachelors in English with a concentration in creative writing. In my major 90% of the workload includes editing of some kind using various Microsoft 365/Office applications, whether it be the editing of my school papers or my peer’s as well. I have had many classes dedicated just to editing other students’ papers which these classes are referred to as workshops. Honestly, towards the end of college career I got heavily discouraged in my major. I love English and writing, in general so much so that I write creatively and edit my own work often as a hobby, but at the time I didn’t see how English could translate into a lucrative and stable career, so I took a break to focus on work, but now I view my major and future degree very differently and in the final stages of re-enrollment into ODU to finish my bachelor’s degree.
