Done... Over.. I did it!

I had never attended one day of college before, so 3 years ago when looking at colleges for my son, I decided to get my own degree. As of 4 o'clock this afternoon, I finished my final exam. I will soon be a college graduate. Bachelor of Science in Aviation Management. It's finally over. Took me 2 1/2 years or 8 semesters. Busted my ass. Took 6-8 classes a semester which is 2-4 more than the normal load of a typical full time college student. (the primary goal was to finish before my son!)
Yeah, I did it!!! Done.. Over!!

Congratulations on a job well done.
Your son could have done the same, but is invited to more parties.

Congrats from another non-traditional student! The worst thing about going back to college is how old the college kids make you feel.

I was there once. Then the results of that last final exam were posted.

Not over.

Now it's time for school PTSD syndrome. For weeks afterwards I kept waking up thinking I was forgetting to study for something or feeling I should be hitting books, dreams of falling behind in class and missing assignments that didn't exist.

Good to hear that from someone else. I spent six months feeling like I was forgetting something.

I went back to get my MBA, so that feeling is unfortunately still legitimate.

I think in a perfect world, everyone would go to college a little bit later in life.
