Graduated Community College
Well, I did it. I now have my Associate Degree. Took me a few years of stop-and-go attendance, but I eventually did it. Half-assing it, I finished out with a cumulative 3.5 GPA, so I'm pretty happy with that.
I graduated with a major in general studies with an emphasis on CS. You're probably wondering "what the fuck is 'general studies'?" It's basically just a degree you get for doing the Gen Ed requirements. It transfers nicely and doesn't lock you into any one major. It is a pretty useless degree in the sense nobody is going to be urgently hiring people with GenStudies degrees, but it's great for just taking out the Gen Ed requirements and it transfers nicely to universities. So if you're planning on going to a 4-year university, consider a gen studies degree at a community college. You can take elective classes for the major you'll want in a 4-year, and it'll be a hell of a lot cheaper.
I talked with a counselor and it would basically zero out the university I'm planning on attending's Gen Ed requirements, and I can focus entirely on my ACTUAL major.
If you know me well enough, you know that my long-term goal is to become a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, i.e. a therapist. So, that's what my major will be in, Social Work. I'm taking a break this summer to kinda give myself a breather before trying to hit hard on my bachelor's degree.
So, yeah, that's pretty much it. Got a degree. Now I'm on to bigger and better things. Best of luck to me lol.

as of writing this...
I woke up this morning and considered calling out, but I just decided to go into work today. I'll be home kinda early and can just kinda relax while my daughter is with her grandpa. I added some chill, low-stim music to my iPod. This new addition is Ambient 1: Music for Airports by Brian Eno.
