Mack
Math, Economics, Poli-Sci, & Writing
When I went to college I wasn't sure what I wanted to study, I had so many different passions and dreams. I wanted to be a doctor, a businessman, and a film director, but there weren't any programs that led to me being all of those--I had to choose, so I chose economics.
