It’s been a while since I last introduced myself…2 years I believe so I thought why not provide an update.
Hi, I’m Taryn. I’m currently in my third year of uni and completing my 2nd year of subjects… gets a little confusing when you study part-time. I’m studying a Bachelor of Communications and Media and majoring in Global Screen Media. I hope out of this course that I can find a career in editing documentaries or get involved in the film industry in producing and editing.
As part of our introductory blog we were asked to think about who were before uni and one thing I thought you uni would be like before I attended. Honestly, I had to think hard about what I expected from uni as a year 12 who had no idea what was in store for herself. So I did some research into my old blog posts and my original introductory blog in my first year. I remember seeing university students and thinking how much fun they would be having. I don’t know why but I had this preconceived idea that uni was super fun and involved a lot of socialising. Which, don’t get me wrong it does, but socialising nowadays more or less involves studying or homework.
I asked my older brother, who didn’t go to university, what he immediately thought of when he hears the words “university student”. He’s response was “someone who wants to study their interests more in depth”. Which to me, is very true. The reason I chose to attend uni was to further my passions of making film and teach me new and exciting ways of doing so.
