Working and going to school has really been taking too much out of me lately. I talked it over with a friend of mine and had considered going back to a community college near my home in the fall. It would greatly cut back on my expenses and mean that I could fit a little bit of fun in between work and school. This would be really nice, but I hated the idea of leaving all my friends here. I finally got settled in and met a nice group of people here. I met a guy and my best friend and I were fixing to move in together next semester. Everything seemed to be on a good path, but money kept getting tighter, so I picked up a few more hours and then a few more, and when a girl at the bar quit, I picked up her shifts as well. Now, I am working about 50-60 hours a week, plus going to classes and doing work. It is all just putting too much pressure on me. Now this guy I have been seeing has been pressuring me to stay because he really doesn't want to have a long distance relationship.

Anyway, finally a guy at work suggested that I take classes online and get my online degree. He said it will still take a lot of work, however the classes are more condensed, have a flexibility of scheduling, and cost less than a traditional college. He said it is a way for me to stay with my friends, get me degree and still find some serious room to breathe, which is exactly what I need. He even said that they will offer me financial aid which will help me pay for my classes and books and stuff, and that it is less expensive and takes less time than the school I am at right now. He said you can do all your work for a class in just a week or two and then you can be on to the next class.

Well, finally I can get my degree online, and still have the flexibility to work and have a life. I can't wait to get signed up, this is the answer to my prayers!!
