So, it has been a minute since I have posted on here. My head is still spinning. I am a college graduate--it's official, I shook the hand of a man with a walrus mustache and received a pleather diploma cover. It all seems so surreal. But this is the goal and many who begin this journey do not achieve it for whatever reason, so I am happy to say that I am not only the holder of a degree, but it will have Summa Cum Laude under my name because I took my time and gave it my all. It feels good. It feels really good.
And now that I am done, I have to ask myself what next. Well either I am a glutton for punishment or my hunger for education cannot be satiated because the very next day I was investigating tuition rates for various graduate school all around the country. I have been saying that I didn't want to even go to graduate school for at least another year. Turns out, I was wrong.
Oh well, it's not the first time and it won't be the last. I am thinking about going to George Mason University and studying economics. I almost pursued an undergraduate degree in economics, but chose political science instead. I'm pretty excited about all of this. It will take time and will not happen overnight, but I am taking steps toward it and it makes me smile from the inside out.
What about you? Did you enter graduate school immediately after finishing your first degree? Or did you wait? Did you never get to go and wish you did? Or happy that you didn't? I would appreciate some perspective on this.
I love your comments!!
