In This Article:

My bachelor's degree in General Studies with an Information Technology concentration has officially been conferred as of September 1, 2018, after almost three years.

Prior to earning my bachelor's degree through Southern New Hampshire University, more commonly known as SNHU, I earned my associate's degree in Education back in 2009 from my local community college.

1. So when am I going to start having to pay off these student loans?

I heard it is typically six months post-graduation that I have to worry about that.

2. Should I consider going to graduate school?

Would it be helpful at this point in time anyway? Plus I do not really want more student debt.

3. Grad school tuition is how much?

Damn, and I thought undergraduate tuition was expensive as hell.

4. What would/should I major in?

Information technology is the most likely contender.

5. Will my current degree alone actually be worth it?

A degree is better than no degree right?

6. Not gonna lie, it actually feels weird not having any schoolwork to do.

I almost miss .it

7. Having this degree does not make me feel any different..

Perhaps it has not fully set in yet.

8. Hey guys, I have this expensive piece of paper. 

Hands down the most expensive piece of paper I will have to date.

9. Are there any actual entry level jobs close to where I live?

Some people enjoy commuting, however, I am not one of those people.

10. Are said entry level jobs even remotely related to what I want to do?

There are jobs out there, but jobs pertaining to what I want to do are more limited.

11. I hope I will get a real job eventually.

Within the next six to twelve months would be ideal.

12. I wonder how long these student discounts I have will last.

I need these savings to last for as long as possible.

13. One of these days I will get my own place.

Right now it's just not an option, nor is it practical.

14. I wish people would stop asking me about school and work.

I have A job and I just finished my bachelor's degree program.

15. In fact, just do not ask me about anything related to my personal life.

I have my psychologist for that thank you very much.

16. Now more people are probably going to ask about when I am going to get married and have kids.

Can we talk about something else?

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
