Approximately 5 years ago I experienced a major life altering event, I had twins. They have been my heart and soul and I have definitely put many things on hold, and/or taken them off my list of to-do's, so I could give my kids all of me and be present in their lives.

Taking these classes will help me in the future by not only getting the classes done, but they have also given me a taste of what college is like.

General education classes are a common aspect of universities all across the country. However, after examining the statistics, I believe that colleges are requiring too many classes outside of students’ majors. Not only are students forced to enroll in courses that they are not interested in, but they are also struggling to stay motivated in school. Since students are not retaining the information gained in these classes, colleges are also putting these individuals in an unnecessary amount of debt. While there is merit in taking these general courses, the amount of classes needed over four years is discouraging and expensive.

As these general classes can be beneficial to us, what is the point of continuing to take them for years after college starts. I have always thought college should be where you start learning how to achieve the career you want to go into, not continue the classes I have done for more than 7 years prior. With all of that being said, I do not believe I am the greatest at these classes even with my prior experience. I think I can always learn something, but I think I need to move on and try something new.
