Looking Ahead..

I have always had a plan for my future. When I was in middle school I was constantly thinking about how I was going to get into the best prep school, and through high school I was preoccupied with getting into the best colleges. I decided to come to Clemson on a whim, but I am still happy with my choice. The plan had always been to go to law school after college and then move back to New England after that.

In ten years I see myself working in or around Boston. I am not sure what I want to do with my law degree but hopefully that will become more clear after I have explored different areas of law. I know that I would not want to be a criminal lawyer but business law seems to be a little boring. I have taken a sports law class and I plan on looking into entertainment law. I would like to be settled with a family but I don't want to start a family until I'm comfortable in my career... but all of that is rather personal. But before my goals get too lofty I have to take the LSAT and start the law school application process...

Web 2.0

I think that the web 2.0 should have a huge impact on someone who is entering the work force. Today people need to be able to utilize more computer skills and need to be able to navigate the internet effectively. The first part of the video showed how the digital text (hypertext) is different than text, both quicker and more wide reaching. The last part of the video was the most resonating for me. The video said that we needed to rethink everything including privacy, love, governance and authorship; which I think is true. I also thought that the video had a more positive message towards technology, which was refreshing considering a lot of people think that technology is reducing human contact rather than enhancing it.

About Me

Hi! My name is Sarah Hayward and I'm originally from Hampden, Maine but currently live in Charleston. I am a Political Science major with a Legal Studies minor. I enjoy political science but don't know what I would do with the degree other than go to law school, so that's the plan. I hope to go to school in Boston because it is one of my favorite cities.

Until this semester I was on the Clemson Women's Varsity Rowing Team, but I decided not to continue because rowing was not as fun as it used to be and it was pretty difficult getting up at 5 every morning. Other than rowing I enjoy running, reading, cooking, the Red Sox and traveling. Some of my favorite places to travel are Turks and Caicos and Cape Cod.

I am excited about this semester and look forward to getting started!
