I sometimes feel kind of bad, almost pathetic at the thought of it.  I mean, it's only a year, and it's not the end of the world.  But sometimes I wish I had just gone the first time around... but I also know that I benefitted a great deal from this year off in many ways.  But I still can't shake the feeling that I'm 'behind'...

Anyone else ever have this feeling?  Do you know if it goes away...?

It's weird... all my friends have finished their first year of college/university, and I'm just about to start.

All my friends finished their final years this year, so does my younger sister.

I'm just starting my second year in March

Ron Weasley is my heroin.

I don't particularly care anymore. After HS, I fucked around for another year, then I joined the military. So I was 20 by the time I joined, when most kids joined at 18, so then I was "2 years behind". By the time I get out of the military I'll be 24, so if I go back to college I'll be like 6 years behind lol. It's just the way the ball rolls, it's not important, you shouldn't worry about being behind other people, as long as you accomplish what you want.
