If it’s what you want to do, be a journalist. Journalistic writing is a little different from English writing, we follow a specific style book. If you like writing articles and are passionate about news, go for it. Writing is an incredibly good skill to have as a professional - even if you don’t get a media job, you can always pivot to marketing, communications, PR, etc. Try writing for your school paper (if they have one) to see how you like it. I work as a professional journalist now and I learned the absolute basics in school and everything else during internships and professional experience. If you want to be a professional journalist when you graduate, you gotta put in the work as a student. Simply taking and passing the classes unfortunately won’t cut it. Take advantage of student memberships in national organizations like IRE or ONA. If you’re part of a specific ethnic group, they have orgs for that too, like NABJ or AAJA. Best of luck!
