It has been ten years since high school and, with the exception of a short summer semester at a community college three years ago, I have not set foot in a classroom since. So far, I have noticed that, even though my courseload is much heavier than those of my classmates, I have been having an easier time with it than these young kids (17-20 y/o). I have high hopes for this experience.

Similar to mandatory fun day that was actually fun and productive. Because of how much I knew in general, even when I struggled in class I still learned plenty that may be related but not covered in the classroom.
I'd recommend sharing some of your classroom discussions here at RP to get others' opinion from respective fields of study. I did that with a lot of topics that kept my attention and it helped my overall development. It also helped uncover professors' bias.

That is a great idea. I will be sure to share a few of our topics of discussion and see what the community has to add to the conversation. Thank you.

SGT Joseph Gunderson - Anytime. And also remember RP is always an easy source for polls. I used RP for plenty such assignments.
Oh, and try to get Student Veterans and SVA/VA representatives to register on RP.
Okay, that's all I got for now.

Went to college for a year before I went into the Army. All I did was screw off and drink. Went back to college after I got out. Graduated with a 4.0 GPA and made the Deans list every semester. There are 2 types of people in college. one's that are there to spend mommys and daddys money and fuck off and one's that are there to get an education. 99% of former Military fall in the second group.

I did college before the military and did not excel. Matter of fact I flunked out. After the military I went back and while working full time finished my degree with a 3.85 GPA. Much easier after the military.
