college is starting in 3 weeks , and i have my apartment all settled , my classes picked out , and my student loans scheduled . i feel like i 'm on track to start the semester in a way where i 'm not hurried or confused , and it feels good . that is really good . starting off right is one of the most important things for a successful school year . where are you going ? i 'm attending the university of south carolina as a social work major . i 'll be a senior , so i 'm kind of excited about that . but i will have to attend graduate school after this , so i ca n't get that `` almost all over with ! '' feeling just yet . what about you ? did you ever attend college , or want to ? i did attend college , but i am one of those statistics you hear about .... a dropout . hey ... that 's okay . i 'm 28 and just now about to finish my 4-year degree . my brother finished his at 36 . there 's always a reason for the path you take . maybe it led to better things . do n't ever just consider yourself a statistic . good luck !
