How to graduate from graduate school by Dreamer7787

"Graduation Day!"

How I did it: I was a little slow when it came to deciding what career path I wanted to take. I've worked in a library since I was 16, but it took me until my junior year of undergraduate to decide that I wanted to pursue a career as a librarian. Senior year: off went the applications for library science programs!

How I did it? A lot of all nighters, missing out on hanging out with friends, regretting later when I did opt to see friends instead of working on the paper due later that week and pulling another all nighter.

I found working in a library while going to school for library science extremely helpful. I already had five years of experience with a lot of the topics that were being discussed.

I finished my program in a year and a half by going full time and working part time. I've actually been done with school since December, but walked today for my parents. It was a very big deal for my dad. I'm the first in my family to get a Master's degree (also the first to get a Bachelor's as well)! Now they're asking me if I'm going on for my Doctorate, but I think I'm done for the moment. :)

Resources:

  • My co-workers (who happen to be librarians!) were very helpful when ever I had questions on assignments
  • 24/7 librarians via my local library's website 
  • my boyfriend and parents for always being available and willing to take me to classes
  • my friends for being understanding when I disappeared for awhile

Tarrador rising...

Congratulations...

and much future success. My sister has a degree in library science and although she is glad to be done with school, she’s delighted with the career. She’s not decided on further schooling yet either.

Graduation black is definitely a great color on you!
