I guess I'm venting but I'd love to heard if anyone else has had a similar experience.. I just finished my bachelor's in Health and Human Services this past March. Honestly, I only chose that major because I am a stay-at-home Mom and it was my only remote option at the time. Right after I finished I stumbled upon a Surgical Tech program in my area. I was originally going for Nursing, finished all my pre-reqs but life, kids, and babies happened and I never applied which was a huge let down for me but I did not have the support system at the time to succeed. I never heard of surgical tech before and honestly after reading about it I think I'd enjoy it more than Nursing. So, I'm starting an AS in Surgical Technology in August, I know I will be happy I did it because the starting pay is more and the job outlook is better in my area than the health and human services degree is. One good thing is, I don't have to worry about in general ed or pre-requisites because I already knocked them all out. In the long-run I might go back when the time is right for BSN or possibly Master in health admin. I just feel like I took the longest route possible to get where I'm going and the bachelor's degree was unnecessary. Oh, well..

I'm sure this has been asked before. Has anyone successfully been dually enrolled? I want to do a program at my local CC and pursue a masters degree with WGU. I would only be using loans for WGU, my CC would be covered by a grant.

Going cold turkey today. I tapered off and then had a bad night and started drinking again the last week. At this point I don't care if I get sick or depressed I'm going cold turkey. Yesterday, I had a small cup in the morning and a small cup in the afternoon and that afternoon cup gave me no energy, it made me SO agitated at everything. I want to get healthy again and caffeine is wrecking my health.

My curls stay in for a day or two but looking for more longevity.. Any suggestions of products that keep curls and still keeps hair silky?
