I was so worried about the decision I was making when I wrote this, but I truly feel like I made the right decision. The time and energy I have had to devote to school is amazing. Looking back, I’m not even sure how I did a more than full time school load while working full time.

Another thing I did was make a plan of action. I did this so I didn’t lose sight of structure and to keep myself directed in the right way. It included how long I was going to hold out for my ideal job, my weekly budget, when I should get up in the mornings, and encouraged me to volunteer, exercise, and apply for any available scholarships. This sounds silly, but seeing it in writing everyday and simply having a hard copy of my goals and rules was very helpful.
