Back to School Series #8

WHOA! I know you might be thinking...hmm, November was a long time Melody! Where have you been? There has been some great and not so great things that have happened the last few months. I am actually in the process of writing a separate blog about it so it will not take away from the focus in this blog. In the meantime, I am going to let YOU pick what you would like to read about this week!

  • How to not feel disconnected online
  • Websites to support you in most academic areas
  • Where to find additional support in school

Let me know which topics appeal to you and I will begin with a NEW post this Wednesday, April 4th!

Take care and stay strong!

Back to School Series #1 - Introduction

Introduction The other day, I was pondering on what to write about. A post that could help others, with something they may be struggling with in life. So, why not write about my online college experience? This topic was always exciting for me. Why? Well, I loved the journey and loved sharing my experiences with those that considered taking this path. Even going through some of the rough times, it made me appreciate learning on a whole new level.  Before starting this series, let me tell you a little story about how this all came about... My Story Every September, there was a beautiful sight. Multicolored leaves falling from the trees. A change of the seasons. It's a month when kids and adults return to school in New York.

Back to School Series #2 - Finding the Right School for You

Finding the Right School for You I am not going to focus on traditional schools during this guide since this is not something I have experience with, other than attending a community college. I’ll also be referring to  colleges/universities as school during the rest of the posts. When researching any online school, I went to message boards from Facebook, Instagram, the school’s website…whatever gave me access… to see what previous and current students liked and disliked about the school (you would be surprised what you can learn from other students!). You can get an idea if this school would be a good fit for you based on comments left. Part of choosing a school is thinking about what you want to achieve in school and possibly after you graduate (Yes! Remember, this was part of the last post, “ Getting your Mind Right ”. Yep. You’ve just got to make a choice at this point.). Here are some questions you can ask yourself while researching: ·          Why do you want to att
