How to finish my bachelors degree
It made me
 "Finishing my senior project felt like banging my head against a brick wall... but three years of procrastination later I changed my major and finished in a snap."
How I did it: I felt a lot of pressure from my parents (who were paying the tuition) to finish school in a timely manner, so I just picked a major that seemed like it would be done as quickly as possible. I walked across the stage in my robe at graduation, but I never finished my senior project. I got a job and worked for three years, torturing myself about that project. Then when I discovered that my employer had tuition reimbursement for all employees to get bachelor's degrees, I changed my major and went back to school immediately. Changing my major meant a few more credits, which took a couple of years to finish since I was only taking one night class per semester, but I enjoyed every minute of it. Lessons & tips: Make sure you've chosen a course of study that feels good to you and worth all the work. I didn't WANT to work on or finish my first major, but when I changed my major to something I loved, school was a joy. And even though it took me a few more years to finish, I did it gladly. Resources: Self-knowledge, passion for the major I chose, tuition reimbursement from my employer

How I did it: I got a scholarship to study at my university, where I decided to go for a bachelor's degree in Computer Science. It took me longer than usual because I flunked a couple of courses and in some semesters I took less courses than what I should have. Read how I did it…

How I did it: I substituted school for work, and kept going until I was told that I had received enough qualifying credits to graduate. I also tried to suppress anxiety over mounting student loan bills, and a general lack of educational focus. Read how I did it…

How I did it: Just followed directions - sounds simple but so many people fight the process - don't do their work - get scared of failing or scared of finishing and getting out in the world. It should not be that hard. Read how I did it…

Accomplished
How I did it: Well since you are already studying, however hard it is, however lousy it is, however uninteresting it is, just suck it up and try to accomplish the choice you made. You have to live with it. When you are totally into it. It kinda gets into you, I am talking bout medicine but others should be similar as well. Just give it more time! Read how I did it…

happy to be done.
How I did it: By the end I was just spent. I couldn't wait to get done. But tonight I finished my final project and just sent it in. Now I'll have a Bachelor's of Social Work Degree! What a relief. Read how I did it…

I started as an Anthropology major then quite because there was no job prospects. Went back as an Ecology major but hated all the science and just quite last semester. I want to go back for Journalism but I don’t know if I will be able to get financial aid, plus I need a job first to help my husband with the household bills. I hope to go back to school at SUNY Plattsburgh for the Fall 09 semester but right now its not looking good.

missing school :(

what was supposed to be 1 semester missed, is about to turn into semester 3 missed in feb. this hurts like hell. the first semester was a big relief, a break, the next missed semester caused some concern, now, as the 3rd semester comes along, i still cant afford to go back to school and i feel like a failure in a sense. finances are my problem, i only have 1 more year and it destroys me to know i could have been finished by now and obtaining my cpa. so, some kind of way, i need to get back in school because i want my education, i want my career not just a job, and i want to finish what i start…

On the last possible day everything came together. I had to run around getting forms and keeping my cool while in the face of Futurama style bureaucracy. A bit of high note to end the week. Now to start my classes 2 weeks late !

Today, an early a low point in what was supposed to be a good year. The university informed me that it has no record of my enrollment for the current semester, after having sent me a letter confirming my enrollment. A letter I have since lost. They seem unwilling to help and classes have begun without me.
