My bachelor's degree in General Studies with an Information Technology concentration has officially been conferred as of September 1, 2018, after almost three years.

Prior to earning my bachelor's degree through Southern New Hampshire University, more commonly known as SNHU, I earned my associate's degree in Education back in 2009 from my local community college.

1. So when am I going to start having to pay off these student loans?

I heard it is typically six months post-graduation that I have to worry about that.

2. Should I consider going to graduate school?

Would it be helpful at this point in time anyway? Plus I do not really want more student debt.

3. Grad school tuition is how much?

Damn, and I thought undergraduate tuition was expensive as hell.

4. What would/should I major in?

Information technology is the most likely contender.

5. Will my current degree alone actually be worth it?

A degree is better than no degree right?

6. Not gonna lie, it actually feels weird not having any schoolwork to do.

I almost miss .it

7. Having this degree does not make me feel any different..

Perhaps it has not fully set in yet.

8. Hey guys, I have this expensive piece of paper. 

Hands down the most expensive piece of paper I will have to date.

9. Are there any actual entry level jobs close to where I live?

Some people enjoy commuting, however, I am not one of those people.

10. Are said entry level jobs even remotely related to what I want to do?

There are jobs out there, but jobs pertaining to what I want to do are more limited.

11. I hope I will get a real job eventually.

Within the next six to twelve months would be ideal.

12. I wonder how long these student discounts I have will last.

I need these savings to last for as long as possible.

13. One of these days I will get my own place.

Right now it's just not an option, nor is it practical.

14. I wish people would stop asking me about school and work.

I have A job and I just finished my bachelor's degree program.

15. In fact, just do not ask me about anything related to my personal life.

I have my psychologist for that thank you very much.

16. Now more people are probably going to ask about when I am going to get married and have kids.

Can we talk about something else?

Daily Fun Lists

One of the most dreaded places on campus is the library. Nothing awesome ever happens here. Usually, the only reason you're here is because you've procrastinated so long that the library is the only place you'll actually get stuff done. It gives you this feeling of sadness and impending doom. You have no idea how this is going to go or how long you'll be here, but you do know it is about to be the most excruciating experiences yet. But it has to get done, so you drag yourself to the lovely library.

With each new year comes new goals.

Deciding on a goal can be hard, unsure of what to change for this new year. A new goal for myself is to be happier and take care of myself more. I am a very driven person; so driven that I commit to a million and ten things.

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.
