29 (ok, not really) and still in school...
I hated school when I was younger. In fact, I tried to drop out but my parents wouldn't let me. I dropped out of 3 different colleges before I was 20. So, how did I get to where I am today, graduate school in Indiana?
I would love to say it was because I will get an amazing job, or that I always wanted to be a "Hoosier". But, I would by lying to all. In fact, one thing I have realized since coming back to school is I am not done learning.
When I was in Grad School before, I loved learning new things, challenging myself, exploring... Since leaving, being stuck in mundane jobs I hated, I lost that part of myself. I worked and worked, played facebook games, and read stupid "dime" novels. There was no challenge, no new things, and no exploration.
Though I feel like an old lady in school, having people a good decade younger taking classes with me, instructors who are younger than me, this has been the best - and most challenging - move I have made. I found the lost pieces, I explored in unchartered territory...
And hey, the weather is great...
