There's More School?

I thought I was done...

There's More School?

I admire the people that continue to go to school after their four years in college.


That takes guts. Because some people, and some of those people are me, liked the fact that they were done after four years and didn't want to continue any more.

It's probably a lot easier to continue school after your four years right then and there because you're already in the school mindset and you haven't had time to escape it just yet. But, if you wait some time, a couple of years to be exact, and then decide, well it might be a little harder than you first thought.


Don't get me wrong; I've been playing around with the idea of going back to school for the longest time. My Bachelor's looks fine, and I really don't necessarily need it considering what I plan on going into.

But no one knows for sure.

Everyone is always saying "Of course a higher degree will help you get a better job." And they're probably not wrong. All signs should point to yes.


But I can't be sure until the degree is actually obtained. There are some people in the jobs that I want that have the same degree as I do. And then, there are some people that do have a Master's in the same job.

So who is to say what is actually right? Who's to say that more experience and a Bachelor's wouldn't get me the same job that a Master's and less experience would?


WHO'S TO SAY? And that's the frustrating part, making that decision. Because only you can make the decision for yourself. Ultimately, it's going to be you that's staying up late nights and forgetting deadlines for papers that you thought you already turned in.

So good luck to you! Good luck to anyone that's debating going back to school and they're just like me and can't make a decision.


We made it through four years, so we should be smart enough to figure this out.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
