"Lite" Beef Stroganoff

I decided to try and make beef stroganoff tonight, and might I say it was pretty delicious! My one complaint was that I didn't cook the beef long enough, so it was pretty tough. But besides that, Jonathan and I really enjoyed it. :)
As usual, I got the recipe off of Mr. Food (thanks mom!)

Serves: 6

Cooking Time: 35 min

Ingredients

• 1 pound no-yolk egg noodles
• 1 1/2 pounds boneless beef top sirloin steak, well trimmed and thinly sliced across the grain
• 1 small onion, chopped
• 8 ounces fresh mushrooms, sliced
• 1 (10-¾ ounce) can condensed reduced-fat cream of mushroom soup
• 1 cup dry white wine
• 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 cup reduced-fat sour cream
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

1. Prepare noodles according to package directions; drain, rinse, drain again then set aside and cover to keep warm.
    
2. Coat a nonstick skillet with cooking spray, brown beef and onion over medium-high heat 5 to 7 minutes or until no pink remains in steak and onions are tender, stirring occasionally. Add mushrooms and cook 3 minutes, or until tender. Reduce heat to medium-low and stir in soup, wine, and pepper; simmer 25 minutes, or until meat is tender. Add sour cream and parsley, and cook 1 minute, or until heated through. Do not boil.
    
3. Serve over warm noodles.

Notes

If you prefer a saltier flavor, as we do, then add 1/2 teaspoon salt when you add the pepper.

I tweaked the recipe a bit though.

Instead of white wine I used a cup of beef broth. And my noodles were also whole wheat.

I also used canned mushrooms and dried parsley.

I'm pleased with how it turned out though, and would recommend it to others :)

Stressed!

I'm graduating in August, my major is criminal justice and my minor is sociology.
I don't want to do anything after college dealing with cj, my plan has shifted away from it completely. I want to help kids, which is something I've always planned on doing, but it's shifted from law enforcement to something along the lines of being a sociologist/psycologist fml. Ideally, I want to be a suicidologist. 

I'm thinking about getting another BA in psych, then getting a masters (which I was planning on doing anyway) in sociology, now with an emphasize on suicide. 

That just seems like so much schooling (=$$$). And the most ideal place for me to go to graduate school for that would be here because I wouldn't have to take the GRE and it only takes 3 semesters. BUT it's so late for me to be deciding this, it's too late for me to even get in for the fall, so the earliest would be next Spring. Jonathan and I have already made solid plans about moving back to his hometown in the fall and we've been SO excited about the fact that we finally get away from this godawful city.
I looked into the graduate program for the university where we'd be and they have it, but it's more expensive, takes longer, and I'd have to take the GRE. That's in general too, and I've always planned on getting my masters but with ANYTHING here at my current school would be most ideal.

The thought of all this is just so overwhelming and stressful. I don't know what to do. I suppose the first step is talking with my academic advisor and get his advice. But then what? Move back home for a few months then drag myself and my boyfriend back up to this city that neither of us don't want to be in? I don't even know how getting a BA in psych would work, the way they do the Arts and Sciences requirements. Would I have to get ANOTHER minor?
