I came into college undecided on a major. I had fuzzy thoughts of becoming a neurologist. Then I considered nursing. Then I considered half a billion other things. Seriously, ask me. I considered careers in most fields. My sophomore year however, I officially declared a major. I studied for Restaurant, Hotel, and Institutional Management (RHIM) with a middle/high school teaching certificate and Pre-Occupational Therapist (Pre-OT) coursework for a semester.
Yep. I found out pretty quickly that I did not have the personality to work in hospitality. People stress me out. As much as I enjoy people, they stress me out. I still yearned something in the science realm. I had been working towards a medical career since sophomore year of high school through the clinicals program. However, I did still want to work with people. With thoughts of a science career with a human aspect, I stumbled upon Nutrition Dietetics.
I already had a minor in RHIM from my semester majoring in it and I would be majoring in Dietetics. But I still wanted something. I wanted to study abroad. So, I added a Spanish minor. I thought, my university has a campus in Spain. It should be easy to get a study abroad there. …What can I say? I got busy. I went to one meeting to find out about study abroad before adding the Spanish minor then pretty much forgot about it. I kept the Spanish minor though.
So, Dietetics major, RHIM minor, and Spanish minor. Cool. Plenty of classes to keep me busy, right? Wrong. My spring semester of my junior year I saw a tiny gap where I could add one more class without going over the semester class limit. I was excited to take a psychology class for fun. It was between Personality and Abnormal Psych. I chose Abnormal Psych. I was so excited! I’d taken general psychology my first semester in college and absolutely loved it! I couldn’t wait to go back into the fascinating world of the human mind.
I went to one class. Yeahh, the professor told us we could either come to class and watch YouTube videos and participate in class discussion or simply read the textbook. I already mentioned the strained relationship I have between enjoying human connections and being overwhelmed by them. To make the decision easier, I also met one of the officers from the Pre-OT club I was in during my short lived semester as a RHIM major. I went to the library, got on a computer, and dropped the class that same first class day.
Then I sat there and contemplated if I should add a different class for fun. The Personality course was full. I looked at my transcripts and saw that it’d only take three more English classes to get an English minor. I had three semesters left… So, on a whim, I took a Linguistics class. I was fascinated! So, I decided to go through with this spontaneous new minor.
Long story short, I ultimately majored in Nutritional Sciences and Dietetics and minored in English, Spanish, and RHIM (Restaurant, Hotel, and Institutional Management).

Being a relatively new blogger, I’m lucky if people even find the original versions of my writing, haha! XD But in all seriousness, I have not experienced issues with plagiarism or copyright infringement yet (and hopefully not ever). I’ve been much more focused on not accidentally plagiarizing anything I write or any pictures I use that I hadn’t thought much about anyone plagiarizing my work.
Others may not be so careful. Or they may, but mistakes can still be made. If it’s not blatantly obviously plagiarized, consider contacting the person who posted your work and asking them to link back to the original text on your site or quoting and citing the text. Best case scenario, it was not intentional plagiarism and the person will cite you as the source. This paragraph was paraphrased from this web page: https://www.skyword.com/contentstandard/storytelling/what-to-do-if-someone-plagiarizes-your-work-online/
That web page also recommends using Google Alerts to be notified whenever your words are published on the web, thus (possibly) plagiarized. Link to Google Alerts: https://www.google.com/alerts Another tip from the above article is to use internal links in your posts. If you have links to your own website in the article, it could send people back to your website no matter where they find your writing (you know… if the plagiarizer doesn’t remove the link…)
Here’s another article to consider: https://www.plagiarism.org/blog/2017/10/27/how-do-i-protect-my-work-from-being-plagiarized
And here is the United States Government Copyright web site: https://www.copyright.gov/
I’m sorry I couldn’t help you with personal experience, but I hope some of the websites help. Thanks for stopping by my site and best of luck with yours! 🙂
