✨I did it! I graduated college!✨ 🥳🎊
ngl, college for me was.. well, rough. I started at uni all the way back in fall 2017 (lol yes, it was that long ago). I was going through my classes at a steady pace, on track to graduate within the typical 4 year timeline and all that, but then the pandemic hit in late 2019; I moved back home when I heard about it, but then I had no choice but to also withdraw from my old school, since they didn't offer online degrees.
When I transferred, I lost most of my credits because my last school only had a "pass/fail" grading system and most schools only accept transfer credits with letter grades. I had to do lots of credit appeals, placement tests, and repeats of classes I had already passed at my previous school... needless to say, the whole thing ended up setting me back a few years.
On top of everything else, my physical and mental health have both taken a turn for the worst. Doing full-time online school means rarely leaving your computer (especially when the pandemic was going on and staying indoors all the time became normal), so I've developed a very poor posture over the past few years. I keep spraining my wrists from overuse, and have needed to make regular visits to a chiropractor 💀 My sleep schedule has also been terrible. I won't even get into how bad my mental health has been. I've struggled with it for most of my life, but seriously wtf, I did not sign up for this x _ x
But now that I've earned my degree, I'm so happy that I have one less thing to worry about :"D I finally get to move forward in my life again, I finally have time to do the things I've been wanting to do for so long; finding a steady job, making plans with my boyfriend, restoring my body and mind back to a healthier state (hopefully better than ever), and generally making sure that the remainder of my 20s are well spent.
...
First thing I'm gonna do though is make up for all the years of sleep deprivation!!! Goodnight~😊💙
