No, you're not rambling and insane, Queen D. I was married at 19 and dropped out of college for a couple of years, then went back. I had a full-time job and a husband. It was hard work. The other students often didn't understand. And it was frustrating not to be able to do all the fun things most college students do because I had to work and watch my budget.
But hang on, don't give up. It will all be worth it in the end, and you've got The Universe to come home to every night, which is more than anyone else can say!

You know what's great about taking College Writing as one of your last college courses? You'll sail through it with one hand behind your back, AND you'll blow the prof away. College Writing profs expect to have nothing but freshmen who can't write for nothin', and then they get you, the non-trad who can write up the yin-yang and have a lot to say (because you've lived a bit of life), and the prof will want to cry.
That's what happened to me. I took all of my courses (I was an English major) and then the last course was basic 101 College Writing. Heh. That kicked butt! I had so much fun torturing the freshmen! And by then I was 27 so I had no self-confidence issues in school, so I'd bound to the front of the class to read my awesome writing, while they all withered. Ha ha!
Ok maybe it wasn't that good, but it was sure fun!

As a euphomism for life, I'm not sure I like that one. What if my "stick" gets stuck to the ice?mojo1701 said:

I'm glad to hear your first day back went better than expected, even if you do have to take the writing 101 course. Hijinks is right, you should breeze through that.
As a college professor, I teach both freshmen and nontraditional students. I enjoy the nontrads. They're generally way more motivated, respectful, and understanding. I'd second the advice on looking to faculty/staff for social interaction while at school. While getting too social with your professors could cause some problems (no, not those kind, dirty people. The "I thought you were my friend. Why did I get a C?" kind), I'm sure you can navigate those waters with alacrity and, possibly, not feel so out of it while on campus.
