Some one asked me what CollegePlus is. This happens occasionally; people assuming I am a student. I am not. (MY NAME IS NOT MEGAN.) Still I get asked it enough that it deserves an explanation. (I am not a twin. I just move too much to be known on my own.)
Really the whole question is wrongly put. Because CollegePlus has everything
College - This is an institution of higher,
Plus- Everything else that comes with it. It is what you want it to be. A little side thing, that gets you a piece of stupid paper? Or working through school to become an entrepreneur? Your choice. Only Plus does have some unusual college 'pluses'. There is no basketball team, but there is Steve, an unofficial chameleon friend.
Not enough for you? You want details?
"What type of school?"
"The process begins byCLEPing BLOGGER THAT IS SO A VERB, ahem, testing out of classes."
"The process begins by
"Wait it's not online?"
"Well it's both. Some online, but a lot off-line."
It's called distance learning and you better believe that people's eyes have glazed over by this point. No one is that interested in you unless...
They are parents.
"How much is tuition?"
When you name a price and tell them about accelerated distance learning. They are hooked. Two years? A quarter of the price?
The kids however, that is where the student life comes in. It doesn't matter if you are homeschooled introvert or crazy-excited extrovert. Everyone is concerned about "the college experience."
(Okay some homeschool kids aren't, but whatever. They still need help from student life, only in a different way. Therapy rehabilitation is so a thing. Miracles, don't be afraid of them.)

Still confused?
Imagine the indescribable. Something that is so complex and changing it cannot be fully grasped. It is made up of people and people are walking contradictions.
College Plus makes students unable to sit in a 'normal' classroom. That is okay because, while life is like a classroom, it is not one. Better to learn the real thing than the metaphor for it. They can't sit still. Life doesn't either.
If you try and talk about your new 'college', know that getting a degree without going to a brick and mortar school makes no sense to some people. Also some people just can't believe that you can get a REAL degree online.

If you are STILL CONFUSED:
Talk to my older sister (her blog is here) or talk to Aubry, she is everywhere. Or Jordan, she is working at headquarters.

P.S. This week's CP post is slightly less funny. My apologies. This is also a Part One. Next week's Part Two has more sarcasm. Promise.
