At this point, I'm wondering why I even started doing this "30 Days of Truth" thing. So now, I have to take a break... to think.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So, I did some thinking. It wasn't so much about not having anything to forgive myself for, because I can think of plenty of things I need to let go, but what I want to share with you. (So now, I'm sure you're wondering what kind of skeletons are in my closet... haha! Just the usual... nothing crazy. Not really.)
So, here it is.
I need to forgive myself for the mistakes I've made in regards to my academic journey. Sometimes, I wish I hadn't take my scholarship to Iowa State. Or I wish that I hadn't chosen a school based on a relationship that didn't work out. Or I wish I would have transferred after freshman year like I thought I should have. I wish I would have insisted my advisor let me change my major to English Education even if it is "a very specific path that I would have been behind on".
But, had I not gone to Iowa State, I never would have met Will or any of my amazing friends. I never would have had the experiences from 18-21 that made me who I am now.
And yes, I won't be 25 until I graduate with my B.A. But guess what? In the end? It will have all been worth it. And there are worse things that you can be...
Take it from someone who never went to college. Age doesn't matter. Just do it before you have kids because then you pretty much don't feel like dealing with school. 25 is so young still. I give you a lot of credit. Hugs.
ReplyDeleteMy mom went back when I was in 8th grade. She'll get her Masters this spring. I just feel so left out and behind my friends who graduated this last spring. lol
ReplyDeleteditto what barb says ~ and to go one even further ~ if you can go straight into getting a masters degree after your bachelors is completed ~ DO IT!! that is the ONE thing that for me is a huge regret. i am working on mine now and trying to juggle school, family, children, their activities, a job, other obligations ~ UGH ~ it certainly wasn't how i ever intended for it to be ! funny how life gets in the way sometimes of all the things that you have planned !! best of luck!!
