How to graduate from college
It made me
proud. 
"to date, one of the longest journeys of my life; but well worth the lessons & experiences learned."
How I did it: after 9 long years (the first 4 as a full-time student, a 2 year hiatus, then the remaining 3 as a part-time student), i was able to graduate from SDSU in 2006. it took FOREVER, but was well worth it in the long run.
Lessons & tips: if you discover that it's not the right place for you, don't force yourself to continue or else you will end up resenting and hating the time spent there.
