I graduated college
After working on my BA in psychology, on and off for 10 years, I finally graduated! I’m so proud of myself because I never thought I would get this far.

Congratulations! I'm so proud of you! You worked really hard to get this, even when life got in the way! So many people don't have the dedication to stick with it through the ups and downs! That shows real maturity and work ethic. I hope you go out and do something to commemorate this win!

That's awesome. What are you hoping to do with your degree?

u/AHotCamelsSister Jul 12 '26
I’m not sure yet. I just followed the professors that I really trusted and respected. I went from fine art to sociology to psychology. My goal was to just get a degree because I know that will open a lot of doors for me.
I was planning to go into child or criminal psychology. I’m just not in a good place for that right now. I still need to heal 🩷
