I graduated college today!

ngl, college for me was.. well, rough. I started at uni all the way back in fall 2017 (lol yes, it was that long ago). I was going through my classes at a steady pace, on track to graduate within the typical 4 year timeline and all that, but then the pandemic hit in late 2019; I moved back home when I heard about it, but then I had no choice but to also withdraw from my old school, since they didn’t offer online degrees.

When I transferred, I lost most of my credits because my last school only had a “pass/fail” grading system and most schools only accept transfer credits with letter grades. I had to do lots of credit appeals, placement tests, and repeats of classes I had already passed at my previous school… needless to say, the whole thing ended up setting me back a few years.

On top of everything else, my physical and mental health have both taken a turn for the worst. Doing full-time online school means rarely leaving your computer (especially when the pandemic was going on and staying indoors all the time became normal), so I’ve developed a very poor posture over the past few years. I keep spraining my wrists from overuse, and have needed to make regular visits to a chiropractor 💀 My sleep schedule has also been terrible. I won’t even get into how bad my mental health has been. I’ve struggled with it for most of my life, but seriously wtf, I did not sign up for this

But now that I’ve earned my degree, I’m so happy that I have one less thing to worry about :“D I finally get to move forward in my life again, I finally have time to do the things I’ve been wanting to do for so long; finding a steady job, making plans with my boyfriend, restoring my body and mind back to a healthier state (hopefully better than ever), and generally making sure that the remainder of my 20s are well spent.
