I am a 31 year old wife, mother, accountant and nursing student. Whew. Sounds like a lot but, for me, it is really quite manageable. I don't feel overworked or stressed and my grades are great. But everyone is different. School comes easier for some people. This time around I am not concerned about the "college experience" but I certainly lived it 10 or 12 years ago when I was in college the first time. Back then, I was the traditional just-out-of-high-school college student. I took classes, worked part-time, had a boyfriend and quite the social life, fraternity parties and all that crazy stuff! I don't regret a single minute of it because I absolutely loved the college experience! But I was the right age for it back then. I have a degree in Accounting from that time around and I probably had to put the same amount of time and effort into it that I do now for nursing. I don't think your choice of major takes away from your college experience so follow your heart. A few years from now, you will probably look back on your college days and have some very fond memories. By the way, I'm a neighbor across the Alabama-Florida state line from you. :-)
