I was excited to switch my minor over to Ozark Studies (from Folklore), but in taking the classes, I learned that learning about the Ozarks was for me more of a hobby than a full-on "need to take classes on it" kind of thing. I finally found my perfect minor when MSU FINALLY brought back the African American Studies minor. If they'd had it as a major when I first applied at MSU, I probably would have majored in it; this past year I've had some of the best classes I've ever had.
One of my favorite things to come out of MSU Ozarks-wise is the Ozark Celebration Festival. I've gone to it every year since I moved here, except last year. I'm hoping to make the trek down from KC for it this year; I wanna be able to hang with the Folklore Club, since I'm not gonna get to see them otherwise (well, I do hope to also come down for the Haunted Tour the club has each year on campus).
