i am a fail whale

if you're not on twitter, you may not know what the fail whale is, which is probably a good thing. twitter is highly addictive; don't join it if you value your time :) i find it a little ironic/amusing/aggravating that as i write this, the fail whale is taunting me. "too many tweets" is exactly how i'm feeling at the moment. i've reached the point in the semester where i'm constantly freaking out about everything

To Continue Or Not To Continue, That Is The Question

This time last year, I began taking three of the 15 classes I needed to complete my bachelor's degree. I can't believe how fast the time has gone. I knew that I would be on a roll once I had made my mind up about completing my degree. I'm almost done. After this semester, I only need two classes. I can't believe that I returned to college at this point in my life but it was the best decision I've made in a long time and the best time for me to do it.

So now that I'm getting down to the wire, when I'm almost ready to graduate, what happens? UB starts sending me graduate school information. When I returned to college, I was so happy to finally close that chapter of my life. Now the graduate admissions office wants to open a new chapter. I have been considering pursuing a master's degree lately. That's something that was so far from my mind this time last year.

I know that continuing at UB is the best choice if I am pursuing any communications related degree. A friend of mine told me that it looks better to go to a different college for graduate studies. I think that is absolutely ridiculous. Especially when the college I attend has the best communications programs (as far as I'm concerned) in the area.

For me, choosing UB is a no-brainer. My problem is that I keep asking my self, "Do you really want to be in college for another 2 years?" Deciding to go to graduate school is a question that I never really gave much thought to before, but now I can't stop thinking about it. To help me decide, I am going to attend the graduate open house at UB next week. Hopefully, I can get some information about my desired program and this time next year, I'll be in my first graduate classes.
