I took my last final this morning. I am graduating with a bachelor's degree in psychology tomorrow. I have been in college for 5 years. I had my son two years ago, I never left, I went full time even the semester I had him. This semester, I wanted to get it done, so I took all of the classes I had left, all at once. I took 19 credit hours, was a full time mommy, a full time yorkie mommy, worked 20 hours a week, and planned my wedding. I escaped this semester with 2 A's, 3 B's, and 2 C's.

Graduation tomorrow is going to taste very sweet. And then two months, and then my wedding! I can't believe I survived this semester. I want to look at everyone who said I couldn't do it and I was taking on too much and be like... "what was that? see ya!"

That is fantastic. Hold your head high and tell everyone else, "I TOLD YOU SO!"

19 credits in one semester, that's quite a load, especially in the psychology major.

Congratulations!
