  1. am sneaking up on graduating with my BA in psychology and am really starting to panic about Grad school! My time in school has been a bit untraditional as I got my AA right out of high school, started on a bachelors program and failed out after a semester because the school and program was such a horrible fit for me and then did a start again, stop again for a few years until most recently when I started at an online university in Jan 2018 and will be finished with my bachelors from there in May 2019. I have maintain a 4.0 since starting and yet, have not connected personally with many of my professors (and by many I mean none). The college I am at like I said is online and it has 8 week courses so hardly enough time to get to know anybody. In addition, I have only had a repeat professor once and it was seven months apart. Given this, I am starting to really worry about letters of recommendation. It does not seem like a good idea or like it will turn out in my favor to ask these people who probably don't even remember my name for a letter of recommendation so I am not sure what to do. I am sure I can ask my supervisor at work for one but will that benefit me given that I don't currently work in my field? If so, that is still only 1 out of at least 3 that I will need. I am also struggling to pick a gradate school at all and am not sure what resources are available to me. I need to do it all online which makes me apprehensive because I still want to get a quality education. Most of the schools that offer the degree I want (A Masters of Arts in Mental Health Counseling) are out of state which then brings up questions about licensure and if the programs requirements fit with my states. I am just not sure where to go with all these questions and my advisor has not been much help on this front. Any advice or help is appreciated!!
