8:46 average. Still trying to figure out my future. Today I found out I was awarded (if I accept) a $3,200 grant (per semester) at SUU. Makes me want to go back, that's a huge financial help. But idk, I'm told by my parents and therapist that staying here in northern Utah is better for my mental health. So I'm torn.

Maybe one semester at a time?

my only advice (in regards to figuring out your future) -- take your time. i spent all of my 20s rushing to figure out/get to my future. now i'm spending my 30s cleaning up and starting over because i tried to check off my checkboxes too quickly.

that said, congratulations on the grant money opportunity. wishing you the best in whatever you decide.

Wow, allie. You're in your 30's? I must be in my 60's by now.

at least

Go get your education... you can figure out what to do with your life after that. It always seemed funny to me that while I was getting my education I Seemed to be drawn to whatever it was that I loved and wanted to do . “Do something you love to do and you never work a day in your life!”

From Burt on Fri, Mar 19, 2021 at 09:54:14 from 98.161.146.237

Yeah, listen to Tom. He's a 50 year old with a 70 year old's wisdom.

That's what I heard anyway.
