Dropping Into College Drop-In

Welcome to College Drop-In! I’m Erin Wall, a junior Broadcast Communications major at Westminster College in New Wilmington, Pennsylvania: Yeah… I never heard of it either until I found myself here, surrounded by Amish buggies...
It seems like just yesterday I was wrapping up my time at high school and moving on to bigger and better things waiting for me in the middle of Amish Country. Being in the middle of my third year at college, you can be sure that I have a fair share of stories to tell and valuable information to pass on. That being said, I’d like to pass that information on to you through this: my Senior Capstone blog.
At Westminster, your Senior Capstone is a big, stressful project that determines whether or not one has wasted three years of their life in their selected major. Though the Capstone Project varies with major, it basically determines whether or not a student is able to graduate and is prepared for their profession outside of the college bubble.
Of you’re reading this, perhaps you’re a nervous high school student preparing for your transition college. Or maybe you are a parent overwhelmed by the fact that “your little baby” isn’t so little anymore and getting ready to pack up and leave the proverbial “nest” for the first time. No matter which side you’re on, the transition to college is a stressful time filled with applications, tests, and rough decisions.
Through this blog, I hope to help both parties with this transition by discussing my issues and experiences in the big move to college. Where I lack experience, I will provide information from professional sources that may better answer your questions and concerns. Don’t worry: We’ll hopefully get through this whole thing unscathed…
