Going back to school!!!, How hard is it? Options

[Slick]

Well, after constant pressure from my fiancé, i'm starting college classes again, online. I know its going to be difficult because i have way too many distractions. I mean, i'm not really old, but I'm not a young kid either. I'm already over halfway through my career, but finishing my degree would make things easier for me career wise.

Anyone else been in this situation? Has anyone else felt helpless and lost? Any tips on getting through this as quickly and as painlessly as possible? I don't even know which course to start with!!

Honestly, I think the best decision I ever made was to NOT take a break between High School and College. I know many people in your same situation. I tell everyone to get in school as fast as possible, because the longer you're out the more you like not being there... which doesn't really help much. When I started College I was still going to High School. I'm sure it's known that College can be/ is very overwhelming, but don't let yourself feel helpless and lost. Make a plan, and stick to it. You'll come out on top To get through it as painless as possible would be to just buckle down, do your work on time, and get it done. I had to retake a math class 3 times because I didn't grasp that concept. That hurt the pocketbook.... a lot.

I wish you the best of luck on your way back!
