7 Things I Learned from going back to School (At 26)

1. The concept of school was more appealing from a distance.
2. Nobody knows (and/or cares) how old you are.
3. Studying is painful, honed skill. It also has the word ‘dying’ in it.
4. Friend-making is harder now that you’re older and discriminant.
5. You’ll wonder if some classes should have really been called: Autodidacticism 101.
6. There will be days you also wonder if you’re the only one in the library.
7. No matter what, working towards a new goal beats the dead-end job blues.
