I am so much happier since I went back to school

I just feel so much more balanced. I also love the tangible reward for working hard (ie, good grades and nice comments from my profs). Makes me feel noticed and appreciated. I should have gone back a year ago. I am now strongly considering a graduate program. I just have no idea where will be living next year. It makes it so hard!

I'm glad it is going so well for you. I'm really liking school as well. Last week I was a bit frazzled because I had 3 papers due and a test, but I did well on all of them. I feel so proud of myself for the first time in years. It's also been a very long time since I've done anything just for me.

Yes! That is exactly it. It has certainly been hard work and super stressful at times, but in the end, I am really impressed with myself. I feel smarter, more confident, and just yay! I have gotten an A on every last paper/quiz/exam/discussion so far and I feel so good about myself.

I think anyone with a degree can always have something to fall back on and a sense of fulfillment!

That's wonderful! I love, love being a student - I hope I'll get to go back someday, too.
