Going back for my Bachelor’s Degree- Finally.

I have finally gotten back into school. I am determined to finish it this time. Last time there was so much going on- Job hopping and trying to find something I liked- and I am now settled somewhere I hope to be at for a long while.

 I enrolled at University of Bridgeport and they accepted 63 of my transfer credits. I picked Bridgeport because they have an online program and I need all online because I have  a full time day job. I also have a friend who graduated from there and she was the one who suggested I investigate their programs. I started one class this semester, Biology, to try to ease back into it. I am loving it.  

Last week I met with my advisor to go over classes for fall and she helped me pick 5 classes to think about. I also changed my major to General Studies- Business Administration. She said I needed to pick a discipline and since I tend to take more business and finance classes, I picked business.

She also helped me change my major because it costs less to be only online then it does to go in person. I am paying out of pocket and any savings is helpful. I also applied for a couple scholarships that I hope to get because college is expensive. I am so happy. I am planning on taking 3 classes for the Fall. Labor Law and arbitration, Supervision and Team building and History of Jazz.

I figure if I can take 9 credits per semester and maybe a class or two during the summer, I will graduate in 3 years or less. My husband is also currently going back to school to finish, and our son is looking at colleges that he wants to apply to next year. Soon we will all be college students. My daughter is 3 years away and she already has a few ideas of where she wants to go.

Wish me luck please cause things pop up all the time and this time I really want to finish and maybe even continue for my masters. Wouldn’t that be awesome?
