I suppose that could work if you go to school south of the equator. In any case, Great article Shay!

I wrote up a lot more but didn’t want to bore people with my education experience, haha.

I actually can’t remember missing a good powder day during college. Because I lived in the mountains and commuted to school…I was the girl who “if I showed up, then everyone else had to show up.” I made sure to talk to professors on the first day of class to let them know my commute and the dangers of the highway I lived on. If it was a powder day and the highway was bad, I would email the assignment into my professors and never have an issue with it. I did have some scary drives though, icy roads in the northwest are no joke.

I’ve found that my degree isn’t necessary to my job, but because of the skills I learned writing and discussing in class…that has been more beneficial in communicating with people, writing advice on the web and maybe eventually the degree might be good to have.

I know the feeling of missing the 4 feet of fresh because I have a test the next day.. lame!

Who knows if I’ll ever use my degree but I guess it’s a good thing to have.
