So ..... life sucks for me right now i've found myself falling into somewhat of a depression and i'm quite embarrassed over why. Some of you may ask aww.. why sweetie???, and some of you may say who gives a care get to it and stop whining about your life ,there's plenty of people out there who have it 10x's worst than you. however my issue is im jealous because im close to 20 yrs old with no social life and not yet where i would like to be in education. I mean imagine going on a popular site(FB) and seeing that all the people that you went to school with are living the life. People that you have lost contact with are up in college with tons of friends partying it up and here you are alone bored and holding down a min wage job.I some how wish i could have their lives.I want to go off to a university but i have a fear that its to late and i'll be behind everyone i went to school with.I dont want to be the sophmore when all my other friends are juniors and i dont want to go away and be even more of an outcast than i am now.so what i need to know is "is it normal to have these feeling's" well all feed back will be appreciated please comment and =(..... from bhellokitty much love xoxoxo

    After high school, I took a few years off to work and then decided I wanted to go to university. At first, I was hesitant because many of my friends were getting their degrees and graduating already and I felt like I had waited too long. Looking back, I know now that those few years didn't matter at all, and in fact, were actually beneficial because if I had gone to university immediately after high school I wouldn't have known what I wanted and taken it seriously. And you say you are close to 20? You are so young!!!! Think how long your life will be...going to university for a few years is a tiny piece of that life and you'll find that eventually you'll look back on it and think wow I can't believe I thought I was too old to go...lol. But to answer your question, yes your feelings are totally "normal"! : )

    Stop worrying about your peers. They don't worry about you, so why should you worry about them? And is not too late you'll get your chance. Right now you're just barely making it and you know what? Is ok :)

    Go to an online school... then you can work and do school. You won't know anyone and no one will know you! I get what you are saying because Im 24 w/ 2 kids and would never wanna go to a university!! Good luck!!!

    I'm 35 years old and attending university. I could never afford school before now. I felt very similar to how you do; everyone you grew up with is attaining educational/career success while you struggle to make ends meet at a shitty job.

    You shouldn't feel depressed like you do. Look for the positive aspects of your life, despite your perceived short-comings. Accept that now may not be your time, but not all hope is lost for your future. You are holding yourself up to a ridiculous standard and the sooner you let go of it, the sooner you'll feel good about the life you have. You are young, and it's never too late to go back to college or university: they don't usually have a maximum age requirement. Some of my father's friends went back to university in their 50s and 60s. It's never too late.

    No one cares about a couple years age difference in college. It'll be fine :)
