Yep that one took longer but not too long, now graduation is up next.
I like how you blithely swept-away the Physics FInal like it was just a passport photo
So--looking out into the wide, wide World, what will you be doing, now?

Good luck.After getting that AA degree, 📜 transfer to that 4 year university this fall.
Well done.I’m doing a NASA internship over the summer.
Congratulations.Graduation’s tonight, I got the ink modern buckle, cap and gown and the 7-8+ of honour cords and stuff ready. I’m so excited y’all. Also have family coming over as guests and a few of my friends!
Thanks will let you know how it goes cheers 👋🏻Good luck.

Dude, family definitely has to support you at graduation, so they come watch you cross the stage. It’s a norm, bro! 👊!*wo0t*
Congrats! Another of many, many satisfying periods in your Timeline.
btw, why is your family coming over as guests?!? Have y'all been estranged?

Just finished, man. It was fun! 🤩 View attachment 2519942View attachment 2519941
👍I forgot to put in the obligatory *joking* icon
Such great, really fun times!
👍
Now had two brunches to celebrate 🥳
And another graduation I’m going as a guest is my younger brother’s he’s middle school bound 😊 T-minus a few daysIt's really nice to occupy a Space of Achievement in meeting the goals we have set for ourselves.
Enjoy these moments![]()
Not quite for me! I still have three weeks until I go back. Performing and recording lots in my hometown for these last couple weeks.
Hey, it’s been a while since you all went back to school! I know finals were a bit of a time crunch for you too. But weirdly we had them at the same time. My summer break actually started later than usual because winter break was super long last year—like, two whole months!I still have a month to go--classes start September 25. But I am looking forward to it. This is my final year, then graduation in June. The classes I'll be taking this coming quarter will be smaller and with a much more narrow focus, and I'll be occupied with my undergrad thesis on Latin American literature.
Do you think you'll go to grad school, or no? I still have some time to decide, but I'm thinking not. I don't really see a purpose at this point. Maybe after a few years of working, if I have a really good reason to, I will.I still have a month to go--classes start September 25. But I am looking forward to it.

I’d totally go for grad school and snag a degree in architecture or mechanical engineering! Grad school has a ton of online options too unlike undergraduate degrees. Also, a friend of mine is diving into an online master’s program in AI/computer science. He’s super flexible with his MBP M4 and even does Ironman triathlons, which makes these online programs a great fit for him.It's likely that I will, but I know it's not for everyone. I think I will go for a Masters; I don't want to regret not doing so, though I'm also someone who loves being in school and I'm okay extending that experience for a couple more years. But it's also relevant to me since I'm considering work in academia.
I'm not 100% sure yet, but I will have a decision by next year!
I think engineering is great, I'm just not that type to be doing that. Failed high school calculus and almost didn't graduate. I think I earned a 20% on my high school physics final, too.I'm enjoying this thread because it's full of posts from people just starting out - your education isn't just for fun but also could be the start of something new and exciting. It's fascinating to read, especially from those (such as rm5 above) who aren't just going into IT/AI.
That's the case for most people, unless they are involved with music in another way (namely teaching). I do have a friend who plays the casinos/big venues for a living. Probably at least $1000 per gig, three or so nights per week. Along with some other gigs, I'm sure he does fine. I think his background is in rock/popular music, so that was a pretty easy in for him. He's a pianist, and I think that's his main instrument, but he's also a decent jazz saxophonist, and we've done some duo piano/sax club dates together.As an aside, a good musician friend of mine has just worked on a film/documentary score. He enjoyed it, and it's fun to brag about, but I think he makes more money doing other stuff.
I do plan my life like a schedule.Anyways, back to the actual thread topic... I really don't know the direction I want to go after I graduate. I think it'll be one of those things I just figure out in the moment. The problem I have with becoming a full-time musician is that if that's all I'm doing, I think it would lose its special quality. I'm lucky to get to perform all the time, but I still regard it as a special thing, and I don't want that to get lost and for it to then feel like monotonous work. A friend brought that up to me, and I'd never even considered that aspect. But yes, I think that can certainly happen, and I'm sure it does to a lot of musicians.
I've also done lots of video work, and while I like that, I find it extremely isolating and would never want to do that for a full-time job. I like working around people, and editing video just isn't that. So that leaves my political science classes, which I really enjoy. It's less about the politics aspect, and more about thinking broadly and forming conclusions from lots of different ideas and sources. That seems open to a lot of fields even outside of politics or international affairs.
It's made me very anxious the past year especially. I'm the type of person who needs an entire schedule planned out, with no room for last-minute changes. Unfortunately, that literally can't happen in this case, because I can't plan my life like a schedule.
Oh hi 👋🏻 there! So is that training from a centre or you’re going back to college to do continuing education for your licence 🪪?I'm a student.....again.....briefly.
It's specified "continuing education" that's a requirement for renewing my license to practice my profession.
Exam time is here
