Freshman International Relations major who remembers what it is like
Hello! I'm Creed Shirley, and I am currently a freshman here at BYU. I am currently studying International Relations, but I am still trying to figure it all out. I can help you find ways to explore different majors if you are undecided like me, and I would love to exchange ideas on how we can find our own, unique path. I love Football and Basketball, so if I'm not studying or at school, you would probably find me at the gym working out or playing basketball, or at home watching the NFL or NBA or College Sports. I am kind of from all over the place, I've moved around a ton and have had the opportunity to get to know many different cultures. I look forward to meeting you and helping you realize that BYU is the place for you.

Describe your college experience
Its amazing learning about things I am passionate about and being able to meet people who think like me as I study these things.
Tip for future students
I would just tell future students to get out there and take advantage of every possible opportunity. You never know what you will end up liking, or what major or class might end up changing your trajectory. Meeting new people is one of the best parts of University, so put yourself out there.
Favorite class
My Ancient Near East studies class, learning about the Ancient World just fascinates me
