I decided to pursue that interest

SPU was my only choice. I had planned to go to a school in Massachusetts, but found out about SPU through a family friend who was also attending. I chose SPU because it’s closer to home, and the cost was less than the school in Massachusetts. In my senior year of high school, my friend group experienced a lot of drama, and through that I realized that my friends appreciated my listening ear. I decided to pursue that interest in psychology. I hope to use my psychology degree in either therapy or in a career in IO psychology.

I work at KSPU, the radio station on campus. Lately, I’ve been in charge of listening to many CD’s to determine which ones are played on the radio. I have to be very mindful of the order in which we play the songs. We can’t play more than three songs by the same artist in a row, and not more than two songs from the same album in a row. I’ve been playing the guitar for eight years now. I also play a variety of other instruments, but enjoy guitar the most. My girlfriend is a music therapy major. We met when our friends invited both of us on a hike. Now, we’ve been dating for a year and five months.
