- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).

I'm graduating this month at 31 and my friend, you have made a great decision for yourself! It's incredibly difficult as an adult, but it's going to feel completely worth it when you're at the end. You'll open up a new world of job opportunities, and if you ever have kids or take on a mentor type role for one you will be a living example for them to get through it too. I spent the first two years of college making jokes to my classmates about doing it a decade too late, but now I'm owning it. Those whipper snappers should try doing it alongside a full time job and a kid and a house with a currently flooded basement!
You're going to do great. And, even if you don't do great, all you need to do is PASS. That's okay too!
I joke about it, and I did struggle pretty bad with a stats class (my brain does not math), but honestly, I love it so much. I truly enjoy the learning with classes like anthro, soc, et cetera, and I've got a 3.8 gpa (that damn math class). I'm 2 years in now, and genuinely dreading it ending. I'm seriously considering a master's after this, because I am not ready to be done with school.
I deeply regret not doing a masters. Thinking of going back myself after 15 years.
What would you be going for? My brother just finished his master's. He started college at 38. He was a bit burnt out by the end, but loved doing it. I wish I could get multiple BAs and not have to worry about student loans. Haha. I'd so be in school for the rest of my life. Lol. The masters scares me a bit, but it's just nerves. I think I'd be mostly okay.
