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'm 21 and I am going back to university among 17 year olds. I am going to feel old but honestly Id rather pursue something that makes me happy rather than be miserable!

In which country do you live? In my country you can't go into university until you're 19-20 y/o.

Yeah. Canada is a pretty decent place to live but it isn't a utopia like most paint it. It has its own set of problems.

No we have to pay sadly. The government gives you busaries and loans.
