My name is Rich Chiarantona, and I am a senior at UCF. I chose Interdisciplinary Studies as a major after almost completing the Cinema Studies major because I felt it was the right thing to do… I chose UCF because I’ve wanted to go here since I was a kid. I found that I wanted to be well rounded, and study more than just cinema, and have one minor (behavioral/ social science).
In late 2007, I changed my major to IDS, and have been focusing on 3 areas: Film, Communications, and Behavioral/ Social Science.
My short-term goals include: successfully completing my courses this semester, graduating from UCF, revising my resume, and securing a new (upgraded) apartment downtown.
My long-term goals include: landing my dream job in TV or radio broadcasting, making 6 figures, having a great view of the skyline from my living room window, and having a fulfilling, lasting, and loving relationship.
I look forward to working with everyone this semester because I believe we can learn some things and have a good time while doing so!
