I got my degree from college after I turned 30. Before I went back, I wondered if the "college kids" would think I was still one of the cool kids. I had 2 small children of my own and really didn't fit into the party scene or the "hey, let's hang out after class" group. I had responsibilities and a family to get back to.
It turned out to be one of the best experiences of my life! The college kids did accept me and I enjoyed it more than when I was with my peers right out of HS or, in my case, Junior College. I related so much better with my professors and could see their point of view to a greater extent.
The only drawback was the distance I had to travel. I lived in Floyd, VA and I attended class in Radford, VA. It was about a 40 minute drive each way and took quite a chunk out of my already busy day to make the trip there and back.
If I had to do it all over again, I might think very heavily upon using an online university to get my degree. I've heard about Waldon University and when I looked into WaldonU.edu, the degree programs look well-represented and complete. I also noticed a lot of Walden University Graduates make the news and also are named as staff for other universities once they graduate! Walden was named by U.S. News and World Report as having the No. 1 online graduate program in education by enrollment and the No. 3 online graduate management program by enrollment, to name a few accolades!
If I was ever to get serious about going back to school for an MA, I would definitely consider Walden University's online degree programs. Getting an advanced degree in the comfort of my own home is an appealing option! The more I learn about Walden, the more I am drawn to their accessibility and assistance to non-traditional students like myself!

Good Digestive Health With ReNew Life Review and #Giveaway
Congratulations to #87,Jessica McGhee! Thank you for participating everyone! We have all heard the saying "You are what you eat" but it would be truer to say You
are what you properly digest and the nutrients that you properly absorb. I used to have issues with my digestive system as a younger adult. I would get horrible stomach aches and be in misery until it finally went away. I also had bowl problems. I couldn't go! It was painful. I finally realized that I needed some help with my digestive health. It took a few years before I began taking probiotics, soothing herbs for my stomach issues and more fiber--both soluble and insoluble. Now lest you think I took many different products to fill my needs, the answer is no. I simply found one great product with all of the things I mentioned built right into it. It helped my health so much! ReNew Life has a product called FiberSMART, which includes probiotics, herbs and a balance of soluble and insoluble fiber. I feel safe using ReNew Life because they select only the finest ingredients, free of harsh contaminants such as pesticides, herbicides, heavy metals, PCBs or any other ingredients that work against the body's natural cleansing and detoxification process.
If you haven't heard of ReNew Life, it's about time. ReNew Life is The leading digestive care company in the US; ReNew Life is featured in food stores including Whole Foods, GNC, Walgreens, and CVS.
Digestive health awareness should be developed early because young adults can suffer with digestive problems, like I did, especially since they are usually running crazy busy lives and eating horribly! In association with the Young Adult Education Initiative, ReNew Life started the 'How Does Poo Move You' video contest (some very hilarious potty humour), which was very successful and has stressed a few key points in order to make young adults and everyone more aware of the importance of digestive health. They are:
1. Make your diet a healthy diet, rich in fiber, low in processed carbs/sugars, along with taking an all-natural probiotic supplement.
2. When taking a dose of antibiotics, supplement it with an all-natural probiotic supplement within 2-3 hours. Turns an upset gut into a healthy gut.
3. Daily exercise means a healthy metabolism. Sitting idle throughout the day will make it difficult to go #2.
4. It should be a lifestyle goal to have 2-3 proper bowl movements a day.
Right now I am trying the ReNew Life DietStart Cleanse System, designed to jumpstart a weight loss program and enhance metabolism, something I need to do. I'm hoping it doesn't make me have to go to the bathroom too much, since I work full-time at a high school in a classroom full of obnoxious boys, who would totally tease me if they found out I was on a cleanse or had to go poo a lot. But there are some great reviews for this particular product, 29 to be exact. In general, they gave this Cleanse System great ratings. I may wait until this weekend to start, though. ;) I'll let you know in a later post how it goes!
