[quote=Anonymous]Definitely a strange post.  My parents wouldn't pay anything for college and I got no aid my first year so I started in January to make money in the fall.  Then part way through college I realized I was way behind in payments so I took another semester off while my boyfriend and most of my classmates were enjoying the last semester of senior year.  I came back for my senior year, was already 22 and most of my close friends were gone. I figured it out, paid my bills and graduated after making some new friends but with loans and lots of stress over finances.

Oh well, I never asked anyone to feel bad for me and I didn't hold any grudges for those who had it easier. I sometimes felt misunderstood but I was glad to be able to make it work and was proud to have overcome my personal challenges to get a college degree from a very good school.  My age at graduation was just shy of 23 and I can tell you it was the LEAST of my concerns.  And today it's definitely not on my mind at all.[/quote]
