Message: <blockquote data-quote="Queen_Dopplepopolis" data-source="post: 2519855" data-attributes="member: 14323">... I start classes on Monday and I am *not* excited.  This is the first time in my 17 years of education that I cannot get myself happy that school is about to start.  I have always been the chipper kid that skips to the classroom - new pencils sharpened and ready to learn.Things are so different this year, though.  School has been tough since I got married (at 19).  I always feel like an outcast while I'm on campus - aside from age, I'm pretty much a non-traditional student.  I've got a life, a husband, a job, a dog, a cat... I have so many responsibilities outside of my education and last semester I had so many professors that just didn't understand that...Moreover - I find that I just *long* to have a normal life with my husband.  I want to go to work, come home, cook dinner, and snuggle up to watch tv.  I don't want to worry about homework, reading, writing, and studying in addition to my normal wifely responsibilities!I know that my education is important (I promised my father when I got married that I would finish my college degree - no questions).Yarg!  I'm rambling and insane and I'm going to shut up now.  If you have any advice - offer it.  If you can think of something that will help me get excited about school - share it.  If you have a joke to cheer me up - tell it.  In the end, I'm just ranting becuase I'm sitting at home on my last Friday of Summer Freedom feeling sorry for myself.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" /> <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/laugh.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":lol:" title="Laughing    :lol:" data-shortname=":lol:" /> <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
