Who's applying for uni?

Lisa,
You are right, I had that same mindset at the start too, I didn't want to go just to make friends and hang out, I probably didn't say it right before, I wasn't just going to uni just for the fun factor - ha! It's funny that I had an impression of like, American colleges... I guess the first few weeks were daunting because I was older, had a bubba, still had pre-bubba weight, felt a bit 'dumpy', and there is all these glamazon young things swelling around, and I felt SOOO old. Even though I was 24 when I started. It was just a bit overwhelming, after being 'out-of-the-loop' in baby land for so long. I did hook up with a few of the older students, but like me, they would rather of gone home to bubba then down to the tavern.
It was, overall, a great experience. I (and my family) were so glad I did it, and even though there are late nights and exam fears all over again, the feeling when you get results in is exhilerating! All that hard work! And you are sooooo much more dedicated when you are an older student. Good luck!
