Hey guys! So, I created this blog so I can track my thoughts on being a 29 year old freshman. I always had it in my head that if you don't go to college as soon as you're out of high school, you might as well forget about it. That's not to say I never made an attempt... I've made lots of attempts. Something always ended up stopping me though. So, now I am 29, I am in the most amazing relationship ever, I am fully financially supported, I live right behind campus, I don't have to work, I have no children... I really couldn't think of a better time to start school.
I'm half way done with my first semester, and this is the longest I ever stuck to it. I go through moments of insecurity because I am 29. I tend to compare myself to the ideal 29 year old. You know, that person who is long out of college, has a career, married, is in the process of buying a home, goes on an annual cruise with other married couples, has a baby and maybe another on the way... You're very ideal 29 year old. Then I have to stop myself and realize, I'm not now, nor have I ever been, "ideal." In fact, I'm the polar opposite of ideal, so what in the world ever made me think I would start school any sooner than 29?
Anyway, I am doing okay in school. I'm not doing great by any means, but I'm doing pretty well considering I've been out of school since I was 17, not counting, of course, the many attempts I made at going back to school.
You know, I've even started going to college at a trade school at one point and dropped out. Do you know how expensive those places are?!?!?! And that didn't even motivate me to continue going. And I certainly did not get a refund. In fact, I think I still owe Sally Mae some money... Hmmmm.
Well, this is my very first attempt at truly sticking to it. This is my very first attempt at a blog as well, so we'll see how it goes.
I will do some research on some other blogs and see what other people talk about so I am kept in the loop. I have a feeling I will be the only one reading this anyhow, considering I don't have any followers! Haha! <3
Until next time!
