Two years of stress, tears, and work have come to an end. I am done with graduate school! I submitted my final assignments earlier this morning and I'm beyond relieved! There have been some easy times and some times when I really thought that I would not finish. Two years went by pretty fast, though … Continue reading Operation Graduate School: Complete
That, my friends, is how long I have off until my third semester of graduate school begins. Earlier today I took my last quiz for my Children's Literature class (before 8am) and instead of wasting the next five hours before work reading or wasting time deciding what to read next, I figured, 'what the heck? … Continue reading Four and a Half Months
It's happening everyone! I'm going back! I got my acceptance email the other day saying that I have been accepted to Wayne State University's Online Master of Library Science program. This is something I've been mulling over for the past year and a half and after working in a library for nearly a year now, … Continue reading Back to School?
I know, I know. You think I'm crazy. Heck, I think I'm crazy at times, but it's true. I miss being in school and most things about it. I've been out of school for just over a year now, and it's still something I have to wrap my brain around. Which is partially why I'm … Continue reading I Miss School (Sort of)
No more papers, lectures or overly-priced textbooks for this girl because as of Saturday, I am a college graduate! All I can really say is that graduation weekend flew by! Though the graduation ceremony itself seemed to take a long time due to the speeches and having well over 1700 undergrads walk the stage, it … Continue reading Class of 2015… We Did It! {weekend recap}
Dear Tabby of the future, Remember today? Today, May 16th, 2015, is your college graduation. There's a lot of emotions swirling in your mind right now - fear, joy and a bit of uncomfortableness as you're writing this letter to yourself. Really, it's weird. But that's not what I want to talk to you about, … Continue reading Letter to My Future-Self {graduation day}
This. Is. It. My last week of college. Though last week was the final week of actual class lectures, I still have to count this week because I am still going about as a regular week. The only difference is that I'll be taking finals and finishing final projects. I am done with one class entirely … Continue reading The Final Countdown!
Last year I came across one of the most useful blogs that has helped me immensely in school, blogging and just life in general - College Info Geek. If you've never heard of College Info Geek, you are missing out! College Info Geek is run by Thomas Frank, who started the blog just after his … Continue reading Why You Should Check Out College Info Geek… Even If You’re Not In College!
This semester is going to be my weirdest one yet. Not only is my schedule a little bonkers due to my internship, but it's also my last semester of college (unless I decide to go to grad school, but that's doubtful). When that hits my mind, it hits hard. This is my last semester of school. … Continue reading Back to the Books
Earlier this semester I was teamed up with two classmates for our first assignment in our video production class and as it turns out, they would be my partners for the rest of the projects we had to do this semester. We all mesh together perfectly and we don't have to fight for a certain … Continue reading Working In a Group
"You can't judge a fish based on its ability to climb a tree." Ever heard of that? Well, it's the same with education. Someone who is good in math might not be as good in science or history (and I may or may not be talking about myself here...). The reason is not because … Continue reading Education: They’re Doing It Wrong
As a fifth year college student, or super senior, I’ve learned plenty of things, and guess what? They’re not really anything I’ve learned in my classes. Most of what I’ve learned during my time in college has to do with tips that I can use to help my younger friends and cousins (and readers) as … Continue reading 7 Things I’ve Learned From College
