How to graduate from college
It made me
Smarter
 "I enjoyed going to college and I'm sure I will miss it, but I won't miss the sleepless nights."
How I did it: When I first went to college after High School, Computer Science was still taught on mainframes and I was totally not interested in learning on ancient relics. I took my time sampling classes over the years since I was working and raising a family at the same time. To finish, I only took 2 classes per semester most of the time to reach my goal. I was lucky that my employer had a tuition assistance program and helped with some of the cost. Lessons & tips: If you don't like what you are studying, change your field of study. It's best to study things that you really want to learn. Resources: California State University Dominguez Hills

Proud
How I did it: I really studied and worked extremely hard all four years in college. And at the same time, I was highly involved: I was an Orientation Leader for two summers, a tour guide, I founded a spoken word club, was the President of our LGBT-org, and performed spoken word at tons of events. It led me to become a well-rounded student and individual. But it was always important for me to never fall behind in my work! Read how I did it…

ecstatic
How I did it: I did my best every day, and got on the Dean's list every quarter (except perhaps one!) It was very hard some times when I felt like the work was never ending, or I wasn't inspired to create, or when I had to take classes I didn't like (ew, math!).But in the end it as all very worth it, and I feel like I've learned SO much. I'm confident that I am ready for a career in art. Read how I did it…

I have two semesters left (Fall 2009 and Spring 2010) until I am an official college graduate! I’ll keep working hard on this goal.
germander thinks it may be time to reinvent herself
I know, it’s expensive, and if you aren’t exactly sure why you’re IN school, it can be hard to motivate yourself. It’s really discouraging to face the same mistakes again, too, but -
It’s worth it. Stick it out.
If you give up because you haven’t met some societal mold of the 4 year degree, think of what you’d be left with – the chance to be a person with an advanced educational experience, or a person who passed on that. Whether or not my career will be more interesting because I have a diploma is highly debatable, but I can tell you that I don’t regret learning what I did, or learning how to teach myself new things, so my LIFE will certainly be more interesting.
My biggest obstacle was financial, and I often took breaks to rest from hectic semesters where I worked and went to school full time. I also took years off, and once I took a month long road trip that put me in Alaska for two months in the middle, working at a salmon cannery. If I had to do it all over again, I might take a break after high school and save money, but I probably would pass on that chance, given all the interesting living I’ve done. Plus, there’s always today.
Do it for the “Now what?” moment you’ll have. That alone is worth your weight in gold.
