I finally decided on Sport Marketing and Management and I'm really glad that I made the switch. Who knew I would end up here!

When I came to IU, I knew what I wanted to do for my career...what I didn't know was what major would be best.


I remember coming home...and being asked the dreaded question...What is your major, Cindy?

I ended up choosing a major that I didn't even know existed when I came to IU as a freshman.


During my second semester, I soon realized that I was not enjoying my classes.

Change is good, except I did not have a plan B.


I remember the frustration...when I felt...I don't have a clue.

I really did not have any idea what I wanted...my dad pretty much convinced me to be a biology major. Unfortunately...I was not an excellent student in science.


It was overwhelming, exciting, and confusing all at once.
