Hello. This is my first posting on Gradcafe. I do recognize that this forum is about GRADUATE school, and part of my question pertains to graduate studies but that part is dependent upon the first part of my question which does not pertain to grad studies. I hope that you do not mind. This is my story: 2003 - 2005 Majored in Drama and English at a University 2005 - 2009 Earned Finance Degree At A Community College Because My Parents Thought It Was More "Practical" Than My Drama/English Studies Summer 2009 I want to re-enter the university to pick up my English degree (I only have two years to go). I will graduate at age 26. My plans after that include pursuing a graduate degree in English and then a doctorate - I aim to graduate by age 31. MY CONCERNS: 1) I feel really bad about graduating at 26 instead of the usual 22 - I feel different, not normal, etc. Should I feel this way? Or is it all right that my dreams got delayed? 2) I did really well at the community college, although I have ~ 2.33 CGPA from the university before I left (I failed an elective Sociology course). Is there any graduate program that will take me, seeing as how this was five years ago and I will do well in my last two years at the university? Please help me with these questions.
