......Damn right! Well said. I had the same thoughts when I got sober and went back to college. All my friends were graduating or had already and were starting families. Pissed me off that I was just starting and had a hell of a ways to go. I set a goal for myself to be done with school at 30 and I did and haven't looked back. You can't change the past but you certainly can change the future.

Translation:
Yesterday you were drunk, today you are sober
Yesterday you had no direction, today you are building a future.
Today you have a choice.
By turning yourself around you may achieve more than those that have amassed fortunes, built reputations, gained fame and adoration or conquered nations or mountains. Why? Because you have conquered yourself and proven to yourself that you can. I would trade everything to stay sober, because if I drink again I'd lose it all anyway. Its what you think of yourself that matters, not what anyone else does. Love yourself unconditionally and be happy for the Professor and her happiness.
Read the book of Job. Story about a bloke who had it all, lost it all and then got it all back. Hit rock bottom and cursed the day he was born but stuck to his guns.

Star I can relate to you a lot, in that I just graduated college this last June at 28 years old. I'll tell you what, once you walk down the isle to receive your diploma, everything you are worrying about right now won't matter. Continue to work towards your future and never look back!!

Also nail down some solid internships!!! Good luck man
