Well, now that I have an associates' degree from a community college, it feels like a new chapter in my life has opened up and my life is changing. It's like something new, exciting, refreshing,challenging and wonderful is happening in my life. It's just like an old life is gone and it's time to step into a new one. It feels so good to have the degree and makes me feel accomplished, and like a whole new person. It's just great.

back -to- school must haves for female college students to make the experience easier
For all the women going to college classes, this is a list of items and tips that I use and in my opinion make the college experience an easier one.
1- Rolling bookbag- because if you don't, you'll hurt your back trying to carry the heavy books home with you.
2- Lots of paper, pencils, pens and erasers-because someone will ask you to borrow some!! Believe me, this is common for me
3-A pocket electronic organizer- so you remember all the important things each day
4-Lunchables lunch packs- for a long day at school, this will be a great item to carry for lunch, because on campus, there usually isn't a microwave handy for leftovers from the fridge or there's not a cafeteria or a fast food place close enough for you to go to.
5- Reading the syllabus each week- So you can keep up with your homework and have assignnments on time.
6- Contact with your instructor- so they can help you with something if you are having trouble with a class
7- Using the library for research and a quiet place to get homework assignments completed.

how it feels to be a woman in college classes(specifically a married woman)
How does it feel to be a woman taking college classes? Well, great! Why? Because it does all those things in my post-'why is college great for us women?' I get to do things for me on my terms and not anyone elses'. I have complete control of my life. I'm doing what I want to do, and not what everyone else wants. I am learning things that I would've never learned if I didn't finish high school, and learning more about myself and my own creativity. I'm challenging myself and striving to reach the goals I set for myself and set them higher each and every time I reach one. It's great for these reasons and more
Yes, it's wonderful, but it's tough sometimes, but i'd say what it does for your life after graduation more than outweighs the suffering it brings while working on the degree.
