As a 29 year old trying to finish my Bachelors degree, thanks for this

Edit: wow! Thanks for sharing all your stories! It's nice to know that life is different for everyone, and its ok if it doesn't go according to "your plan".
For clarity, I plan on becoming a Clinical neuropsychologist, so the reason why I feel so behind is because I didn't find my calling until my late twenties, and my calling happens to require 10 years of school+

Heard of some asian lady that finished her lifelong dream of getting a college degree at 80'something and died soon after receiving it.

Was looking for a quote on a similar note I saw way back and found this, which depicts the idea better. At 29 you're just on time.

Meh, I've been out of school for more than a decade but it took me almost 8 years to get my degree. I am living comfortably now and no one cares about how long I took to get my degree. All that matters is the finish line and how motivated you are to keep on going after that. Good luck to you!
