There's No Going Back Now

So after a while, I have finally decided to stick to one topic. I am now committed to College Counseling. After putting in so much thought, I now realize that there is no going back now. My topic is set in stone. It's been two months since I've last gone with my mentor, I would go more often but she leaves pretty far from where I do and I have to go on a weekend that I don't work. But once everything gets back on track, I will be seeing my mentor more often.
