Life Update: Resuming College, Registering Fall 2021 classes

Based on my current stamina level, I decided to only resume college part-time: 9 credit hours-3 classes scheduled: I will be taking Eng359:Advanced English writing for social sciences class (Monday and Wed. 1-2:15 p.m.), Socio364: Juvenile Delinquency (Because I feel like that would be interesting- on Mon, Wed., and Friday 10 a.m.-10:50 a.m.), and CMCN307: Communication in leadership class (online).

I still have many many many choices in classes I want to eventually take but they were either full or not available this semester.
I am just so eager to start back in the fall and I hope I don't get burnt out, able to keep up and try my best and get something out of these classes πŸ™‚ I'm very optimistic and I think I chose some pretty good classes. Let's see how long that optimism stays. πŸ˜› haha.

Life Update: Fall 2021 Resuming College, Close to Bachelors Degree!!!!

What girl is resuming college in the fall semester and only 28 credits from bachelor's degree in general studies with a concentration in behavioral studies...? πŸ™‹‍♀️πŸ™‹‍♀️πŸ™‹‍♀️ this girl, right here! Woot woot.

However, being I have 28 hours left: All I have left is an Advanced English writing class, some general electives, and enrichment (concentration) classes. While I think if I do 2 semesters of full time-each one will be about 15 credit hours, (which is about 5 classes if its a 3-day class)- more if its a 2-day class.) that will be 2 extra credit hours in the end run, but then I will be done by end of next spring if I am able to keep my grades up.

However, I been out for a while and I get stressed and overwhelmed easily, so maybe Instead of setting myself up to fail and burned out, I only do a few part-time, even though I am thinking these will be "Easy" classes.

I don't know what the workloads entail for these classes. Plus my stamina isn't great right now. So looking at my energy level now, it'd probably be safest to do part-time in the fall, and then in spring, I can work my way up to more credit hours. (although maybe not, since spring starts in January and that's still cold...unless it's mostly online during that time. I don't know. Time will tell.) Any advice is greatly appreciated. πŸ™‚

Many people on my Facebook suggested only taking 1-2 other classes besides the advanced writing class because for most people, advanced writing classes take up a lot of time.

The next biggest issues while registering for classes:

1.) When going to the course description, some descriptions only say "will have an additional cost," It doesn't say anything about what the course is about or the workload expectancy: Like how is a student supposed to figure out if that class is a good fit with another class they are taking? UGH!

2.) Most of the classes I am looking at either is full to capacity, not a good fit with the advanced writing class, and some just aren't available/an option for this semester.

So right now, the only class I can schedule is advanced writing: Could that be a sign from God? Like "Hello, all you need to take is this one class for right now." Only time will tell.

Superbowl 2023: So tired of Hypocrisy!

  Food for thought: Let me start this post by saying this: I did not watch the superbowl nor did I watch the halftime performance. I did how...
