Indecisive Cabrillo student, Corie Jurisch, 21 who has been at the community college since 2005, has plans to change her majors for a fourth time this week. "First I was thinking about criminal psychology after taking a criminal behavior class," she told us and chuckled while rolling her eyes, "yea I fit in quite nicely there with all the rest of weird people who's fascinated by criminals." To go along with her major, she took abnormal psychology and general psychology, both which she passed. When asked about it, she seemed disappointed, "I don't exactly test well, that's not surprise," she sighed and pulling her eyes away, "I mean I was interested in the subject, but with all the extreme studying and testing, it's no surprise I didn't get an A." After the disappointment with no A's in the classes she wanted, she took another set of classes that made the curious brunette change her majors for a second time to one that seemed perfect: Film. But after yet another set back with transferring and over all self-realisation she says, "I realized that my criminal psychology books out-weighted my film books about 1:4 and found my interest for it was still alive." But for this indecisive eccentric student, she changed her majors for yet a fourth time this week and when asked about it, she was a little frustrated about it, "I mean I'm starting to think that my mom's gonna end up cutting her loses but just shooting me in the head," she laughed nervously, "but I honestly think that this might be the field for me. Especially since my favorite writer was in the field." And who is the writer? No other than the late druggie and extreme journalist Dr. Hunter S. Thompson. She quoted one particular quote that the late Doctor of Journalism said in his documentary Breakfest with Hunter, "I knew I was gonna be a writer because I wasn't good at anything else." She honestly thinks this might be it and maybe then she'll finally get out of Cabrillo for good. "I've been here too long when I can walk right into the video section of the library and know the exact location of a certain movie. Yea, I'm ready to get the F**k out of here."

Yea if only I was that important, but that's what's going through my mind. It seems like everytime I take an interesting class, I wanna do that for a major. I'm just way too fucking indecisive and can't make up my mind! But who knows, this feels different from the last ones. I honestly think this might be the one. I've asked my family and friends about me being like a crime journalist or something, they honestly thought I could do it, the main thing me being a writer. That was the main point, I've been like writing since I can remember, but I just didn't have any idea of what I wanted to write and doing it as a career! I mean fiction would be nice, but I haven't finished anything worth doing anything with and the stuff I think is good I haven't finished. Of course they're works in progress, but I think that's all they're gonna end up being. Who knows, maybe this is what I'm suppose to do. Maybe I am suppose to follow in my idol's footsteps.... just hopefully not in his style. I mean it's good, but most people thought of him more as a writer than a journalist since, let's face it folks, most his stuff was more about himself than the actual story he was suppose to be covering. But that doesn't make him any less of an artist, a genius than than he was before.
