10...9...8...7...

With the new year around the corner, people are busy posting flashbacks or countdowns. I decided to combine the two! Here's a look back at University Mama's

10
ten+ new friends made

9
nine dollars per week spent on caffeinated products

8
eight a.m. daily departure (thank heavens for no 8 a.m. classes!)

7
seven textbooks that I bought but probably could have lived without

6
six hours of commuting per week

5
five hours straight spent sitting in a desk at school, three times a week

4
four-point-oh G.P.A.

3
three back-to-back semesters

2
two large notebooks full of class notes
.

ONE DIPLOMA!!!


If you are contemplating become a non-traditional university student in 2009 but think that finishing a college degree would take f-o-r-e-v-e-r, don't sweat it. Everybody knows that time flies in the "real world," but once a year is divided into semesters, it really flies. I speak from experience. I once thought dedicating two years to finishing a degree was an absurd reality, but here I am, wondering where time went.

You CAN do it. Write down "finish my degree" as one of your new year's resolutions today, then start taking the steps toward making your dreams a reality tomorrow!
