My undergrad was very different because it was done online through Colorado Technical University. They didn’t have finals, you were graded on a point system. So how many points you accumulated through all your courses totaled up at the end and that’s how you wound up with your grade at the…

Ireland was so different for me. This is because I was not on my own, I was with a travel group. The flight Getting to the airport was not a big deal for me. But preparing days before making sure I had enough packed for my trip and making sure I got all my stuff sent home. My trip started right after I handed in my dissertation.

For me, this was a weird feeling. Before I even started traveling on my own, I would go on trips with family or friends. I never thought how would I handle myself on my own. Who knew I would have a totally awesome adventure and want to do more. Yes I did travel, but before each departure I had such anxiety. I would have so much going though my mind like, what if I miss the plane, or I get…
This is more a story than advice. There are some of us who are good at socializing and there are some of us who aren’t. Well I am in between. I was hoping through my time in uni and traveling I would eventually met someone and hit it off. That, the one thing that I didn’t think about was age.
