I would strongly reconsider your plans for an AA in liberal studies or something similar.
An AA will not qualify you for many jobs. Even a bachelors degree is not enough in many cases.
I would go straight for the BS or BA and forget about the associates. You can just keep on CLEPing and don't have to worry about paying for the TESC enrollment until the end. It costs as much to get a BS as it does to get an AA at TESC when you consider enrollment and graduation fees.
If you put your mind to it and spend some serious time you can complete 60 credits in 6 months.

Thank you for your advice. I don't intend to get a job, but I wanted the knowledge I attained through pursuing a AA degree. Then someday if I need to have a BA I will be half way there. Thanks again for answering my questions! Blessings,

Sorry to be so opinionated but I think you are asking for our opinion. You are a very young woman. To say that you will never get a job is extremely limiting to yourself.
Do not add limitations this early in life. Even if you don't plan to work right away, go for the bachelors degree. Its just 60 more credits and testing out is fun. That is my two cents. Listen to your elders
Especially when they recommend more work as opposed to less.
