Going back to school

#1 Postby OpieStorm » Wed Aug 05, 2009 5:22 pm

Been pondering it lately (past few months) and I think I need this in my life. I graduated high school but only did like a semester in community college. Not that I wasn't good at it, I actually made A's, but I just thought it was boring. And I had a REALLY nice job that was paying me well so I stupidly thought why do I need school? But now I've realized I don't want this job all my life, and all my friends are in school doing great things and going places. So I went to my local community college and signed up for 2 classes ( I know that's not a lot but I don't want to overwhelm myself). Haven't declared a major yet, need to look more into it but hopefully I'll have one decided by next semester. I'm hoping this will get me somewhere and make me feel like my life is going in a successful direction. If things go extremely well I will get my AA and hopefully go to a university like UF.

Hey, congratulations! A college degree (whether a Bachelor's, Associate's, or beyond) is priceless in today's world. Good luck! I wish you well.
