Motivation... how a non-traditional student can find it.

Non-traditional students DO have motivation. The ones that sign up, have a goal, and pursue that goal, while keeping up with a job, other responsibilities, a family, etc. etc. -- these people DO have motivation.

It helps to bolster motivation sometimes. I go to ITunes, my Mac's music and podcast-playing program, to help with motivation to do many things I must accomplish this summer.

If you do not have ITunes, you can download a FREE version by clicking this link:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/

Both FREE music downloads and pay music downloads are available here. Haven't heard your favorite artist for awhile? Download a song for only $1.00.

New artists are often featured and you can get FREE song downloads to listen to... to see if you like them.

I listen to motivational podcasts on ITunes. I just select "Podcasts" at the upper left, and search the podcasts listed there, OR I find them online with search terms (just like you look for any page, only select "podcast" too) -- I have found many fun podcasts and load them on to ITunes using the Advanced and Subscribe to Podcast buttons (on the program, above.)

Non-traditional students can find classes, music, and motivation here at ITunes and on the internet. Here are a couple of motivational podcasts that I like:
The Procrastination Podcasts and
the Metamorphosis Site
(scroll down the page a little and click on "Audio Feed.")

Let me know if you like them!

THE FAFSA, NON-TRADITIONAL STUDENTS BLOG, MORE

I am so happy to get this non-trad students blog going. I have found a great website called Feedburner that will syndicate a blog and also will do podcasts.

Later on, I will be purchasing a microphone. This will help me get going on a Non-traditional student podcast. There are some good podcasts out there that I have listed on the Nontraditional Students website, but I'd also like to do one.

THE FAFSA SITE - are you thinking of going back to school? Do you want to know if you qualify for a government loan or a grant? Make sure and go to the OFFICIAL FAFSA site. It is here:
http://www.fafsa.ed.gov/

Ideally, it is good to get your FAFSA reports back and THEN apply for college. Your advisor at the school you select will be able to see what kind of financial aid package you qualify for with your official FAFSA score. So it's Step One in your journey back to school.
