    You can do it. I just got my Associate degree at age 34. I prayed I get a degree before age 35, my 35th birthday is Friday I graduated in December of 2019. I'm now going for my Bachelor's degree.

    • @ElizabethErin
      @ElizabethErin  6 лет назад +1

      If you want to go back to college, go for it!! Seriously, it is the best decision I ever made. I spent several years wanting to go back but got caught up in life, and I was always nervous to make that kind of commitment. You can start out slow and take a class or two, part time, so you can get a feel for how it’s going to be. A lot of campuses offer online classes through their school as well, if you need help with scheduling around your daily schedule. It will go so quickly, you’ll have a degree before you know it. :) wishing you the best of luck! And congrats on your upcoming marriage!

    I’m 32, married, have kids, and I’m starting college for the first time. I learned very quickly that school is very different from when I was in high school. Everything is online and hardly anything is turned in on paper. So weird. Plus, being in classes with kids who are still in high school is a very strange feeling. But I’m getting used to it.

    • @ElizabethErin
      @ElizabethErin  6 лет назад

      Congrats on starting! It definitely can take a little to get use to, but it becomes the norm after so many weeks. I finally feel settled in my classes and really enjoy them. Not easy all the time, having to juggling the kids/family/classes and pursuing other things. Time management has been huge for me. Pat yourself on the back, you are doing a great thing for yourself and your future. 💗

      Not at all! I’m actually Vice President of the Film Club at our school. I thought the same thing. I figured I would go to class and home, probably wouldn’t make many friends and wouldn’t be able to join things like the traditional students, but that’s far from true. Made many friends, got very involved on campus, I interned and made a short film. If you’re interested in joining a club, then join:)
