I failed my first half of my instrumentation skills but somehow was able to successfully pass everything that was remaining by staying after school to practice and paying instructors for one on one sessions. Now I'm done with Hygiene, just gotta keep your head up and not give up

go talk to a cute realtor. tell them how much you'll potentially make after graduation and what your debts are. watch them salivate at the mouth, and then you need to ask them about 4-plex and apartment building ownership. become a multi-unit landlord and start saving up for that retirement NOW.

Wow yes 100% about being in the present moment and making time for yourself. I'm almost done with my second semester of school, I commute far for school everyday and I work most weekends. I am completely exhausted but I know I am not going to have access to this wealth of knowledge once I graduate. I'm glad I watched this, because it reminded me I have to ask my professors about grainy calculus I keep missing/not fulling removing and reminded me that they are there to help us on our educational journey and a resource I need to utilize more often. I really need to try to enjoy this process more and live in the now, even if the now can be stressful, because I'm never going to have an experience like this again. Thank you!!!

The teachers do their best to keep our spirits up, but it still gets to us. I’m already hearing some of my classmates saying that they want to drop out, which is crazy considering everything we went through just to get into the program.
