Something of a coward, I suppose

I'll be entering my fourth year at a major university in three week's time. All the kids I graduated high school with have either finished college already, or never went to a university. I have people who've had kids, who've been married, who have good jobs, who are generally satisfied. And I'm still in school. Still in my safe little bubble of

So much yes. Your last 3 sentences sum up my feelings about life at the moment.

yes fall in love and make bad choices! like me!
(Kidding dont do that) I'm proud of you for going to college and the whole university thing and the fact that your even still IN school to do something with your life, you sound so smart, it makes me feel so dumb cause after highschool what did I do? got a job at the mall and got knocked up, TWICE. I hope all your effort works out for you, I know you struggled with it a little but your still there. when you leave I have a feeling you'll just get stronger :)

Is it a comfort that I'm where you are? Or should that be a given?

[lulusapprentice]

you're younger than i am. and as far as i know you didn't actually go to the university with half of your major finished.

Leaving sucks. I wish I hadn't graduated because now I'm without medical insurance, afraid of getting a job, and under pressure from my family, boyfriend, and boyfriend's family to do something with my life...other than ice cream. Stay in the bubble as long as you can. Don't let it burst around you. Know where you're going before you leave. Otherwise its just scary.

I'm actually seriously considering law school. With intention on teaching it. I'll be in the bubble forever! Also, the added security that comes with knowing you never hear about 'starving lawyers'.

Good to know it's scary on the other side though, and that at the very least, my apprehension is not without reason.
