Going back to school and nervous

My only thing is that I don't want what happened the first time around to happen this time. I really want to do well and would love any advice you guys have.

You should already know what went wrong the 1st time around so you can alter that behavior. Best advice is excellent time management and study... then you will be successful.

Yes, thank you :) The first time around, I let my new found independence get to me and went to every party and hardly studied. Immature I was, but now I've officially grown up.

I'm 25 and just started college this spring. It's really hard balancing going to school full time, working full time, and having a husband, family, and friends. On top of that I have pets that are more like my babies (5 sugar gliders), so it's been really tough learning how to be a student again after being out of school for so long. My advice would be to find what works for you and stick to it. I chip away at my school work through the week, but I still have to commit most of my Saturday to reading and tests as well. If you're dedicated, you'll find a way.

I am 27 years old and married. I changed my majors five times and dropped out three times out of college. I was too young to know what I wanted in life until I hit 25 when I cleaned houses for the elderly, disabled, and bedridden clients as a housekeeper. It was then that I wanted to be a nurse. It's scary for me as well because people tell me that you need straight A's in your general classes and I'm struggling in my math class right now with a 84.

The fact of the matter is that you have more life experience and are more focused than you were the first time. Just work hard and give it your all. :)
