On finishing college

edited March 2008 in Help / Advice Forum
I need some advice on how to keep focused on college. I'm 24 and I'm a senior with four classes left, but I can't seem to get excited towards graduating. After getting married a few years ago and leaving my crappy job for a nice corporate one and buying a house it's like all the goals I've worked for I've already reached, and I feel like I've gotten too caught up in the 'real world'.

I keep finding myself putting off college for life and work now, even though I'm so close to graduating and I'm scared of messing everything up so close to the end. Does anyone have any advice on how to stay focused? My job offers counseling service under it's benefits plan, I've been thinking about signing up but so far it's just another thing I haven't followed through with.

    is there a rush to finish fast?

    I suggest taking maybe 1-2 classes a semester, no big time sink (depending on the major), and a college degree never hurts

    Are you taking online courses?

    If so I'd suggest staying an extra hour or so at the office after your shift is over and dedicate it to working on your schoolwork. Of course, make sure its cool with your boss first.

    I say this because if you're like me, when you get home from work, you arent motivated to do shit and just want to unwind.

    That's a really good idea, being in IT I'm one of the last people out anyway so I don't think anyone would mind.
