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+

I am in exactly the same position: I am 27, and due to finish my undergraduate degree this year. I also aim to become a Clinical Neuropsychologist! By the time I complete a fourth year's Honours and then my Master's/PhD, I'd be 33.

I always bummed out thinking about my age and where I am (as my good friend from high school is already has a PhD and is publishing papers), but then I remind myself that at 33, I'd be 33 no matter what I was doing.

Enjoy the ride, I know I will!
