It's taken me almost a decade to finish my bachelor's degree and it seems like everyone else my age graduated years ago, already have a wife and kid and a healthy savings account. I'm nearly 30 and feel like I'm atleast five years behind the curve. I buckled down last semester and passed all my classes but it nearly killed me. I'll have days, sometimes weeks where I feel great and productive and accomplish a lot but inevitably I'll start feeling it won't last. It's just hard to persevere when life is 90% pain. I wish I could realize my potential as a normal functional human.
