So I have been out of college life for 3 years now, and I decided to go back and finish my degree. I am double majoring in Graphic Arts and Photography. My councelor told me it would be tough...well, all I've learned so far is that:
* It is TOUGH if you do not get on and sign up for classes EARLY! Those classes fill up SO quickly!
* It is TOUGH to know how the heck to do a portfolio (that has to be turned in February 1st!!) if you have never taken any art classes before. (I started out a psycology major...dumb du dumb du dumb! - not the major - just to start out and then quit and change directions!) Any suggestions, PLEASE tell me!! I am at a loss at how to even do a portfolio!!! Any art majors out there want to share some tips or show me there's??
* It is TOUGH to want to go back to school and finish my math class I have to take because I know I'm going to have to take a bunch before it, because I know didly squat when it comes to math.
*It is TOUGH to figure out how to go full time to school and be a mom at the same time...
* It is TOUGH to go back to school when you feel stupid from being out so long
* It is TOUGH going back to school...
* It is TOUGH to balance everything and the 3 hour long classes I have to take...
So what I am learning is she was right...it's going to be TOUGH. We'll see if I make it through alive. Wish me luck!
I know I haven't posted pics for a LONG time. And I will. When I figure out how to balance everything in my life...so it might be a few years. Hang in there!

Good luck. I admire you. And I'm jealous of you. You will be fine, even though it's insanely difficult to "get back in the saddle". HOORAY for you!!!
Yea! I am excited for you. You are TOUGH, and an education is always worth it, so just take it one step at a time.
I think YOU are tougher than anything else, so I'm sure you'll come out on top. Good luck and I admire you for having the guts to go back and do what you really want to do!
Shanda...you will do great!! You are a fighter and a survivor and I know you will be able to make it through. I admire your strength. I think it is great that you are going into photography and graphic arts...that will be fun and exciting. I wish you all the best of luck!! :) Love ya and miss ya! (P.S. Sorry I am not a better friend...but I do think of you often.)
I think it's great your going for your goal to finish a degree. What a fun major. Keep with it!
It's so true, school is super tough in MANY ways, but you'll be so glad you did it when you're done! And it's THOUGH people like you who are the ones that make it through! You can do it!!! :)
Good for you, you can do it. I would love to go back and do something else, but...maybe not. I am impressed. My photography portfolio was so long ago, I don't even know if I still have one put together. I wish I could be more help...but just work hard and play harder. PS, I love your 'mommy' post.
