[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Op what is driving your desire to be a year ahead?[/b] There will be many kids in college who are your age.

Are you wanting to finish a year sooner for a specific reason?[/quote]

I'm not trying to get a year ahead. Right now, I'm a year behind, and I'm trying to catch up so I can just be normal. Is wanting to be normal so wrong?[/quote]

You're not behind. You just are. Wanting to be normal is a very reasonable feeling. But what's normal? You clearly have a very high attachment to being at a certain life marker at a certain age. This will probably not change and be difficult for you so I'd take the time to sort out now why it's so bothersome to you. Will you need to be in a certain position at a certain age?, married? Have a house, see a certain number of countries? Have kids all by a certain "deadline" or you'll be behind? That's the big life picture and you're already on a path of looking at things in a more difficult light. [/quote]
