Full Time Online Kent State Graduate Student

Last week I started my first week as a full time grad student at Kent State.

I quit my job as an IT Nerd for a large law firm to go to school full time for my MLIS degree.  There were multiple schools that offer degrees, but Kent seemed to offer the best Library courses.  Kent also offers library specialties such as Museum librarianship, Specialties Librarianship and much much more!

I am so glad I ended up at Kent!  The first 2 classes the recommend you take really help familiarize you with all of the resources available at Kent to make your academic career stellar.   The teachers (so far) are quick to respond to questions and really seem to be interested in making the classes the best possible for everyone.

My 1 credit course asked me to watch this video:



So great right?  Who would have thought learning could be fun?  

This blog will be about my Kent State experience along with all the ups and downs of being a poor college student again at age 31.  Quitting my job and going to school full time has been the scariest and also most joyful thing I've ever done and I’m looking forward to enjoying every moment of it!
