Hi, my name is...

Hi! My name is Jessica Folk. I'm a senior in Architecture graduating in May! I thought the day would never come considering I've been in school for 6 consecutive years. I started college in the fall of 2001 at Clemson majoring in Architecture. I spent three semesters pulling out my hair and decided to "enhance my creativity" by leaving Clemson and attending another institute. Since my Mother was head of IT at Converse College, I decided to go there considering it was tuition free. I spent a year there majoring in Interior Design and of course, "enhancing my creativity." However, I hated attending that school. It was the pure fact of having a parental figure on the payroll that made me dispise the place. So, after careful consideration, and after my parents said "no" to me going back to Clemson, I decided to transfer to USC-Upstate, a sister-school to USC-Columbia. I changed my major, then, to Graphic Communications and spent another year, of my already drawn out college career, trying to decide how to get out of school. The entire time I spent at the other two institutes, I couldn't push the idea of "what if" out of my mind. Clemson still had my heart, and my blood still ran orange. So, I did the impossible. After almost three years of being away from Clemson, I went against my parents' wishes, obtained the loans needed, and returned to Clemson University in the Spring of 2006. I love my major and the people I've met along the way. However, I can not WAIT to graduate May 9, 2008!
