It's official
#1
I’ve posted about attending commencement next weekend (can’t believe I’m saying commencement and next week in the same sentence). I’ve started talking about grad school, too. And I’ve even updated my signature line.

But as of today I am officially a college graduate. So this is my official I’m done post!

I don’t have a whole lot to say except thank you all for your encouragement, open minds, brilliant suggestions, and inspiration. I tear up every single time I read someone else's I'm done post and mine feels somewhat anticlimactic. Nevertheless, I’m really thankful to you all for sharing your experiences about education in general, but especially TESU. For some crazy reason or another, I kept resisting TESU even though their degree programs made so much sense for me. I'm glad I kept reading about it here because even with multiple detours, it turned out to be the best option for me.

If I can give back to anyone, if there is anyone who has questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me. Not that I’m going anywhere because I’m already on to the next big educational adventure!

I'm always happy to complete the free application waiver for those applying to WGU (I get a free gift from WGU for this).  Just PM me your first/last name and a valid email so I can complete their form.

Wonderful news. Isn't it weird when it does seem anticlimactic? I wonder why it feels that way?
