Hi, I have been feeling depressed about life in general while in nursing school. A little background about myself, I graduated in biology in 2010. I had always dreamed of being in the health field but went astray and rebelled against my parents and partied. My GPA dropped and thus, graduated with a 2.7 gpa in biology. I took the gre and did great on that post biology in perhaps of pursuing a masters degree. I got into a masters program but i got cold feet bc I thought about the future and what I could possibly do with that degree. Having no idea what I wanted to do, i got a job to work full time while retaking 1 or 2 classes in the hope of boosting my gpa up to go to PA school. I found out how competitive it was and drop that goal. Come 2012 I decided to go into nursing and finish my prerequisites. I got into nursing school with my 3.0 gpa which was really exciting at the time. Im a junior now, so I only have 2 years left, but Im starting to feel depressed as I am seeing all my friends graduating from medical and dental school, and others entering medical and dental school while Im still in undergrad. I feel like I made alot of dumb decisions when I was younger and regret it. I'm 26 now and feel old and I feel even older because I want to go to nurse practitioner school and i'll be in my early 30's when i finish. Alot of my classmates say I look like i'm their age but I still feel depressed with my life, I can't move pass how dumb i was when I was younger, and how i should had studied as much as I did now. I always think about this before I go to bed and it makes me feel depressed. Should I be depressed?
