I want to study but it all seems so hard

[Aimz]

Willow I feel like I have read the story of my life! LOL

I thought the same thing - get through the HSC, get a good job, get married, have babies. Perfect life. I am also a PA/Executive Assistant and a few months ago my boss called from his office and said "I'd love a coffee Amy". I actually felt guilty that I had forgot to offer!!! WTF!! It was then that I thought I am better than this. I am smarter than this. I am more valuable than this.

So I applied for uni and last week I got a letter saying that I had been accepted into my chosen course at my chosen university. I also plan on studying part time (by distance) while I continue to work. I have chosen the Bachelor of Arts degree majoring in Sociology. I have absolutely NO idea what I want to "be" when I have finished the course but I will be studying something that I enjoy and that stimulates my brain. The course will show me where I want to go career wise and I will just go with the flow on that.

If you want to study psychology then GO FOR IT!!! Don't just study law because it's what you know and it would be easier. Go with your passion. You need to be driven to be able to get through all of the assignments and exams. You have to WANT to study those subjects. Otherwise what's the point? My DH was at uni for 6 years getting is Masters and he doesn't even have a career in that feild because he hated the subjects so much.

Believe in yourself - you CAN do this!!

ETA: I applied as a mature age student. All I had to do was send them a copy of my resume and a "letter of motivation" and I was accepted based on this.
