How to finish my B.A.
It made me
Relieved
 "It took me 12 years but I did it with honors."
How I did it: I kept having to drop out so I could work but eventually I found what I was really interested in, took out financial aid to go full time and graduated with honors. I thoroughly researched the requirements so when there were classes I really dreaded taking I found others to satisfy the requirement online and learned a lot more. Lessons & tips: Keep at it. Balance classes you dread with classes you love and look forward to. Resources: Online classes, especially for general ed really helped. |

How I did it: i switched majors after the first two years of going to college on and off semesters. that forced me to start from the beginning in my new major. i got student loans, which aren't too bad because i worked to support living and other expenses. i also went part-time a few semesters to prevent burn-out.
