I originally started out as a Sociology major before I switched to Creative Writing. Hi Doc,

Anyone pursuing a degree in the social sciences will, no doubt, research, write and analyze their writing time and time again to greater proficiency. Writing in these styles also helps a writer developing his/her writing chops to think beyond 500 words, and to draft material with a story in mind. It's a beautiful thing.
