So, it's time for me to do the ritual I do every semester, once my schedule is finalized and I'm thinking about registering for the next one. I always have this panic when I think of how much I need to do to graduate... but after wrestling with it for about an average, I always get there.
It's tight. I'm not going to lie. And my failure to take a Spanish class here, and maybe even to take one of my Journalism electives (I'll find out soon), has not exactly improved the situation. (In the chart below, I'm operating on the assumption that I'm going to get credit. If I don't, I'll probably take another elective during the fall when I return. I only have 12 credits listed there now, and even with reporting, I won't be working, so I'm pretty sure I can bump it to 15 with something like photojournalism and be fine). It's tight, but doable, and I have two areas of flexibility that I can and will utilize in order to graduate on time, these being:
1.) I can drop the anthropology minor... this will save me a few credits.
2.) I can stay home instead of studying in Norway... if everything goes according to plan, it won't slow me down to go... but if much more goes wrong, I'm going to need to stay home to get Journalism credits.
So, here we go:

Is possible to get two majors and minor? Why are you so interested on get double major and minor? ... I am courious =D
P.s: I am only going for a major, and a certification =D
Haha, technically it is three majors, and two minors. XD It is possible... I have my reasons.
1.) Journalism is because that's my 'real major' - its the best journalism school in the world, and my dream job is to be a travel journalist.
2.) International Studies is because its easy and fun, I pretty much get the major from my classes from high school and freshman year, and from studying abroad. And it complements journalism for my dream job.
3.) Spanish is because my realistic job is to be a Spanish teacher. And it's not that hard to get.
4.) German minor because I like German and am studying abroad in Germany, so not much extra work.
5.) Anthropology minor is because I realized that I already almost had the minor, plus I can easily get the credits studying abroad, and it only complements my other majors. :)
But that doesn't mean everyone should get more than one... one is normally fine... XD
Your reasons are that you're an autodidact and a crazy person.
Girl, please please please take news reporting during the summer. You'll thank me when you're older. It's totally 100% worth it to not have to have what amounts to a at least half time job AND school AND whatever else you're involved with.
I really really want to/should have taken it last summer. But is it flexible when you take it? Because next summer I'll still be in Germany. Silly German school year.
