FoundMyCalling

I've been in classes with 60 year olds. And my GF has 90 year old Psych major as a co-worker. Crazy right?

bump. for 2nd day of school

lol. Cake Walk. I've worked 35 days straight. I paid the damn price though. It seems do-able. Go for it. Just imagine loafing around the house for 2 weeks a month!!! wheeew!!! road trip any time you like. Visit lost relatives. Do it!!! I would. I just like work too much though.

I regret not doing research and not knowing what the hell school was for as a bright-eyed kid stepping foot on a college university at 17. I just knew I loved school. Didn't know that it was to get a job. I grew up and now I know what I want to do. I fell in love with my current girlfriend and soon to be fiance. I guess everything happens for reasons. Thank God we have a decent life span. :-D.

Good stuff. I am proud of you. May you have a long and fulfilling career. I also left a four year. Had to suck it up and move back home for a bit. Good luck to you. Have fun. And I triple-dog dare you to go to just one college party.

Hope your dentures don't fall out or you don't fall asleep during your clinicals BORTA!!! Just Kidding, Borta. LOL. No, good luck. I admire anyone who attempts to further themselve's in life. Good Stuff.

Don't you see that I used the term "self-proclaimed"? It's okay. I'm good.

I recently expressed to an older family friend how I was self-conscious about going back to school at a semi-older age. He told me flatly, "You're dumb. Quit worrying about what you look like in your speedo. Jump in the pool and SWIM!" That was some of the best advice anyone has ever given me.

lol...I'm just excited that I have a plan now. God Bless. It just took me to put it down on paper.

I honestly thought the reason we go to school and choose the careers we choose was for the occupation and love for the job. I didnt realize we worked our whole lives to chose a career we didnt like. Stop complaining about money. Everybody hates the stresses of their jobs and the fact that another job has better perks or pay. Get over it. Welcome to society, welcome to the world, welcome to human nature.

And I do consider myself smarter than most. Maybe haven't made the best decisions to date, but I'll kick someone's ass in jeopardy or chess. lol.

I find intelligence "in theory" to be overrated. There are people as dumb as **** to do great things with their lives. And Geniuses who haven't done too much of anything. There are congressmen and scientists in Mensa just as there are welfare recepients. I guess I AM just now getting with the program, as I see that you are. What's your story?

life has a funny way of humbling us all...lol... Maybe I was great student with a bright future. I messed up and stopped caring. It's ok that you're an ass, it is. Life throws us all lemons. I hope you never had to experience what i did. Maybe if I were looking at me through your eyes i would be a joke too. I honestly believe intelligence is overrated in a world full of billions.

My dad was 33 or 34. Uncle was 30. I have an aunt that is in her 40's now and she's pursuing a bachelor's in Sociology. I guess my family is progressing/evolving.

I thank you all for the encouragement. I'm only a 2nd Gen college student. And i'll probably end up getting my degree at the youngest age.
