For as long as I can remember, I have always liked to challenge myself and my abilities.  New Media offers that outlet for me to challenge my creativity and think outside of the box.  I can honestly say that I have fallen in love with the major.  Right from the start, after being introduced to all of the Adobe programs, I was hooked.  I find myself playing with the programs on my own time just to learn more about them.  There are so many components to these programs that take time to discover and I am determined to find them and learn them! Unlike most everyone in New Media, I personally love After Effects.  Others find it frustrating, but I love the challenge of it.  You could spend all day on that program finding new features and bettering your project.
