Stand By Me

Towson University’s Stephens Hall is one of the most highly populated lecture halls on campus. I would say about 75 percent of Towson’s undergraduate students must enter the doors of Stephens at least once during their tenure at Towson. This may be to fulfill a requirement for their major whether it is Statistics, Economics, Accounting, Management, Finance, etc. Ironically, Stephens Hall was the very first hall built to represent Towson University. What was once an education hall has been transformed into the College of Business and Economics (CBE) hall. As a freshman, two years ago, I knew not what TU’s CBE had in store for me! I entered Towson with the hopes of pursuing an Accounting degree. (because I am a whiz with numbers and monitoring money!). But during my first year, I feared that an accounting major, just might be slipping away from me.I thought that with my talent and a natural inclination to work well with numbers, that Accounting would come fairly easy to me; therefore, I could not understand why just the Accounting principles classes were the source of my many headaches! I found it frustrating to excel in all of my other classes. With so many business oriented majors, I definitely had other, more tempting options. At times, I wanted badly to give up.I wanted to call it quits; Accounting may have not been my niche after all. I knew no other people who were Accounting majors; I felt that there was not a soul I could trust to steer me in the right direction. of my other friends were far from Business majors.it not been for my mother and a close friend, whom I met not too long after my accounting debacles, I do not know where I would stand as a student at Towson University.
