So, here we are. I’m back in school trying to get my BA in Business. Let me tell you, it’s exhausting. I feel like all my free time is homework and studying. I mean, I know it’ll be worth it in the end, but good lord, did I underestimate how much work it would be lol.
My first class was cake, just an entry class. Basically getting you used to being back in school. I’m doing an all online accelerated program. Ten classes a year, five weeks a class. They cram so much into each week. It’s insanity! My second class is significantly more difficult.
I studied for six hours on Sunday to take a ten question quiz. TEN QUESTIONS! I mean I passed that shit 10/10, but like damn. SIX HOURS. My hand literally started cramping from writing so many notes. I went old school and actually made flashcards.
There were many moments I thought to myself, “I am not smart enough for this!” Damn it all though, I want that degree. And then when I get my BA, I’m going to subject myself to more torture and get my masters. Apparently I’m a glutton for punishment. Anyhoo…that’s what’s going on in my life. So if you need me, I’ll probably be studying or working on a ridiculously complex assignment I have no idea how to do. Wish me luck.

Reminds me of the time I took online biz courses. It’s absolutely grueling when you’re trying to hold down a job and other life stuff. The biggest takeaway for me wasn’t the fancy piece of paper, though. It was the push I needed to inform my decision about becoming a full-time freelancer! Ten years later, and I don’t even know where that piece of paper is… but I’ve built a nice career for myself, thanks to the e-learning experience. Hang in there! It sounds like you’re already on the road to extracting value from the process.
