I can see the light!

So right now I am sitting in one of my accounting classes and I am just so over school. My prof is a total joke. This school is a total joke. I am so glad that in just 7 weeks I can get my diploma and be done with this school. When I first got here last year my advisor told me i would be done Aug 2013 but I did not believe her and thought it was too good to be true. Then Kyle and I got engaged and I was SO stressed during Fall because of the wedding. I told my counselor there was no way I could continue going to school during the summer, I needed a break. Well I attended school full time in Winter then I looked at my course sequence and realized I only had 5 classes left. Now, there was no way I was taking all 5 classes in one semester cause it would've be an extremely heavy load. I would've had to split the classes between Fall and Winter. But if I did this I wouldn't be considered full time and I would be paying double in tuition. LUCKILY, this crazy school has two condensed summer semesters that equal the tuition price of one semester! So I jumped all over that and decided to squeeze the rest of my classes into the two summer semesters, graduate quicker, and save $2,300. My class load last semester and this semester is totally manageable so I'm so glad it worked out.

I am also glad I decided to stick with accounting. As much as I struggled my junior year, I really do like it and I really believe it's one of the best degrees you can get. Being an accounting major, it's shoved down your throat that you must work for a Big 4 firm, get your CPA, become a manger, then a partner. And initially this was my life plan but as I learned more about accounting and this career path I realized it wasn't for me. So now I'm just about to graduate and I have NO CLUE what my career path will be. But honestly, I am SO okay with it. I am just going to take baby steps and do what makes me happy. I am FINALLY realizing not to listen to people who think they know what I like and think they know what's best for me. So if you're an accounting major, don't think you have to work at a Big 4 to be successful. There are so many jobs you can do with accounting and the stigma about it is all lies! 

It's so funny cause my sister called me one time and she was stressed cause she had no idea what she wanted to do with her life. I laughed so hard because even if you think you know what you want to do your mind is going to change. I'm pretty sure at least 80% of college students change their major at least once. And even once they graduate they still don't know what they want to do! I also told her that if she didn't want to go to college right away she didn't have to. There is no rush! Whats a year wait? I'll have my degree and I am 21 years old AND I'm married! Now what am I supposed to do with the next 70 years of my life?! I've already done everything I'm "supposed" to do at this point in my life! So the point im trying to get across is....SKOOL IS FOR FOOLS!
