| College!!! So I cheated today and took a sick day from work and went to college and did all my paperwork for financial aid, registration, etc! I found out I am 12 classes from my Bachelors Degree and while I was there I picked up the Associates Degree I earned 3 years ago and never picked up! They shook my hand and congradulated me! It was a bit of a proud moment, even if it was just an associates and it took me 10 years to get it! Im soooooooo excited! In 2 years from now I will have a Bachelors degree finally! I will be 33 and I need to take 2 classes each semester (spring, summer and fall) to get it in 2 years, but I will do this! Im VERY excited to start again! Now... bc I am single I need some REALLY GOOD toy ideas to entertain my boys (yorkies) so they can entertain themselves while mom studies!! Any ideas???

| http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=105056 These, with some Yorkie Yummies in them! Entertains my dogs for hours. Congrats on college! I love school, and hope I'm still studying when I'm your age. I've been in school for the last 20 years and this is my first year off, it is killing me! I am so ready to go back! Isn't it such an awesome feeling when they hand you that degree? It is so surreal!

It was pretty cool when they handed it to me! My best friend is coming over tomorrow night and I find that I can't wait to show her! LOL Most of my friends went to college right out of HS and got their degree 4 years later. I went right out of HS also, changed my major 3 times in 3 years then quit. I was just not prepared! So to me this degree, when I get it, (the bachelors) means a LOT to me.

| Way to go girl!! The first step is the hardest on going back to school. You are well on your way. The boys will learn to play quiet while you are studying, good luck!

I was 20 before I decided to go to college, we moved as soon as I graduated high school and I wanted to stay and go to college with my friends at the University but I was scared to be far from my mom! So I waited and I'm glad I did! Most of my friends have a 4 year degree that they dont even use( At least they have it!) but I really know what I want to do and I already work in my field so I have tuition reimbursment, and best of all, no debt! I never had to take out loans and I pay cash for school! It sucks to be a 26 year old Jr. but I will get a super raise and promotion when I get that diploma so I guess it all works out in the end:P Congratulations on an awesome acomplishment, and many more to come! | |
