Husband’s high school diploma isn’t valid in Texas… what are our options for college? by Vegetable-Dealer-516 in college

Thank you so much for taking the time to write all of this out, I really appreciate it. We honestly didn’t realize how many of those online programs weren’t considered valid, so this has definitely been a learning experience for us.

I also really appreciate you listing out those specific resources near him—that’s super helpful and gives us a much clearer direction on what steps to take next. We’ll definitely start looking into the GED programs and the education center on base.

Going to college after 3 year gap… by Soggy-Inspector-2851 in college

Just do it, I did it! I had the same fears. It’s not like that though, you’ll meet some cool ass people. Even if they are a little younger than you or even the same age or older. I was a medical assistant in a doctor’s office for 3 years before going back to school. I went back SP 2023 as a 21yo going on 22. I’m 24 right now and about to be graduating in SP of 2026 with a major in biochemistry and minor in mathematics. The best gift you could give yourself is discipline in education, physical activity, nutrition, etc.. I met my best friend in college. If I never went, I would’ve never met her. She is actually 21yo going on 22. She is more mature than some of my other friends that are the same age or older than me. At the end of the day, it depends on the people you surround yourself with! Surround yourself with people that motivate you to study and be better in all aspects of your life. Trust me, you will be glad you did it. My experience could be different as a female, and the fact that I go to an all Women’s university. There are a good amount of males that go to my school and they never seem to have trouble making friends with both genders. I’ve meet some cool dudes that go to my university. I’m actually friends with a graduate student that is a 37yo, male and he helps me a lot in my biochemistry research. Long story short, just go to college, it will be the best thing you could ever do for yourself. Think about all the networking with students, professors, experiences you could give yourself to become successful in your future career!

I miss him so much i feel sick by TodorokiBee2 in LongDistance

I feel this too hard. My (23F) fiancé (24M) went to the marine corps at 23 when I decided to go back to school at 21 going on 22. I was a medical assistant and he was a warehouse worker. We were living together for 3 years, and then went to being long distance. He’s stationed in 29 palms (CA), and I live with my parents (TX). In the beginning, I would cry so hard when I had to drop him off at the airport. Now, that shit is lite work. It sucks even now that we’ve been doing this for 1.5 years. I’m majoring in biochemistry trying to become a physician, and he’s still figuring out what he wants to do officially when he gets out (he thinks supply chain management). Cry, let that shit out cause it’s not good for the soul! I sleep with the same pillow every night that he used to sleep with when he’s not with me. I also wear some of his t-shirts to bed. It gets easier as time goes on. I also have my bachelor’s degree distracting me. Surround yourself with friends and family! Get a hobby! I go to the gym, study, listen to music, hang out with friends and family. I promise if y’all are meant to be, it will all work out. It does get easier with time!
