My First Day of School

I thought about doing a picture for the beginning of this school year.... I think I'll pass. It will be more exciting getting a picture of me graduating! Technically this is my 5th year going to school...not too bad when most people graduate in 4. I went to school for 3 years, had a baby and took a 2 year break, started up again a year ago (which was a complete waste unfortunately), and here I am on my last year and SOOOO ready to be done.

Last year was a waste because I did online schooling and nothing of what I completed counted towards SUU...therefore I am in the same exact spot. If I would have started at SUU last year, I would have graduated with J.D....so now you can see why is really was a waste.

I have 17 credits and 3 freshmen classes... I think I'm pretty excited for the freshmen classes because...well it's just entertaining to watch the new little ones come to college. I remember my first year of college... I didn't get a thing about college. It was SO confusing! Although, I was at the University of Utah and didn't know 1 person, and my classes were literally 400-600 people. It was insanely crowded and hard to get to know anyone. You would think with so many people I'd have more opportunity to meet people, but it wasn't. If you met someone one day, your chances of catching them again through the semester were EXTREMELY slim.

I know this is probably a boring post, but I just wanted to share how excited I am. I don't plan on using my degree in any career thing other than being a mother. Which my degree fits in perfectly. I mostly wanted to get my degree because all those years of schooling, money, and time would have been a waste with no proof I ever went to college. Now days people with a bachelors get paid more just for having a degree...so if I ever need to get a career then I will be better off (hopefully that never happens.) And third, I really am high on success for myself. That's just for me personally. I just really need this degree for me. Fourth, I really feel like finishing school with be so satisfying. Mainly to have proof of something of success that I finished myself. I really feel that finishing will allow me to move forward and help me finish other things I want in life. Plus, I get to do the thing I love most, be a mom! YAY! I just can't wait...even though I have to wait for 10 months... haha!

Wish me luck!
