When I enrolled at the local community college in September of 2024, it wasn’t because I had a big plan — it was my big plan to get out of the house, do something useful, and have some human interaction. I couldn’t seem to get a job to save my life, and enrolling in classes felt like the least I could do. I signed myself up for the Commercial Music AA and certificate program (opting out of the option to also take the courses required to transfer, because there was no way that was happening 👀).

Anyway, fast forward 15 months and 63 credits, and your girl is graduating with a 3.95 GPA. And an enhanced set of goals and aspirations.
