Nearly 25 and still working toward Bachelors.

Okay, so I will (come Jan) be 25 years old and I haven't finished my Bachelors degree. I'm still going to school but I'm feeling so old there because the kids in all my classes are 19, 20, 21-ish. When I say I'm 25 and at their same level of education it makes me feel really old.

Now, I understand to someone 30 or older my complaining about being 25 is ridiculous.

I'm going to be going spring and summer now so I don't have to be 28 by the time I graduate with my bachelors. I figured out if I go all that time I'll graduate by 2015. If I don't I'll graduate by 2017.

Degrees always seem to take me forever. What was meant to be a 2 year associates degree took me four years to get. Now this bachelors degree (if I graduate in 2015) will take me 5 years.

What I'm wondering is, does anyone besides me think this is really strange for it to be taking me so long? I feel it is, maybe it's just me being age self-conscious....

My older brother turns twenty-seven in November and he is two-years away fro getting his Bachelor's degree. He always complained about being the oldest one in his college, but he was late in deciding what he wanted to do with his life. I don't think it's that big of a deal, won't mean shit in the long-run when you're one-hundred and five and they're one-hundred and it doesn't actually mean that you're at "their" level of education, it only accounts for how much school has been completed. Everybody isn't of equal intelligence, it's a matter of how much you know, and certificates and diplomas don't authenticate your intelligence.
