So are more State Troopers, criminal justice majors these days? I dunno. And there are quite of few GCers that are in law enforcement around hear.
Actually, you need to speak to Jon and DeltaAlum is extremely helpful. There are a few others I could point out. There are also your PIKE brothers here that are ultra-professional.
I work at a large University in the Pacific Northwest. So, I know what it takes to get kids through college. In fact, I am faculty...
The issue you are having is not knowing ALL the things in your future. Grades should be kept up, but one goes to college to expand their breadth and depth of knowledge and wisdom...
Mostly all GCers here who are older have their degrees. Many have secondary and tertiary degrees. So, you are gaining insight and access to a lifestyle unimaginable.
PM folks you need to.
And like I said, when you see your mom again, give her a hug and kiss and tell her she is a wonderful mother... When's the last time you did that anyways?
