Oh dear, where to start! Ok. I am 29 years old, and I am a junior in college. Well, actually a sophmore. You see, I transferred from another school. I had 61 credit hours at my first school. My current school didn't transfer 9 credits, so let me start over. I'm 29 years old, and I'm a sophmore in college. I used to feel the same way you do. I went to college part time for years, trying to figure out what I wanted to do with my life. Finally, at the ripe old age of 26 (I think it was), I went back full-time. When I graduate, I will be 31. I used to panic. I used to compare myself to my friends who are younger than I am, and have their masters. But you know what I've discovered? Life is to be lived, not to be mapped out and planned. You can only plan so far down the road. I have no idea what I will be doing in three years. I don't care either, because what I AM DOING RIGHT NOW is what matters. You create so much angst for yourself when you start thinking about beginnings and endings. Think about the NOW. That is what matters the most. You are on your path, living your life. There is no set schedule that we all must follow, and don't let anyone try to convince you of this. Things aren't quite as bad as you think. I think that you should contact your advisor, or an art advisor and talk about this. Ask your art professors about their own personal experiences. It helps. I'm an art major, and I have no idea what I'll be doing in a year and a half when I graduate. And the thing is, I don't need to know right now. What matters right now is what's happening right now.
Now cheer up dahling! Don't feel so bad. I've got some years on you!! *hug*
