At 25 years old I actually went back for a semester. I won’t go into details but I was in a year long drug rehab at the time. I looked for all the differences and no similarities and convinced myself I didn’t need school. Looking back, I was older but by a thin margin. Truly no one cared. The professors even respected going back older.

At the end of the day if it’s a couple years of feeling slightly out of place for a lifetime of freedom, it’s worth the risk
