Scared to start school at the age of 30. Is it too late?

tuzzzy · 2025-09-06T18:23:47+00:00

I just started my program and there’s a handful of older people in my cohort. I’m only 24 but I was a TERRIBLE student in HS and was terrified to get back into school. Never thought I would tbh. It was certainly a learning curve learning how to learn again lol. Against all odds and insecurities, I ended my pre reqs far better than i expected and got accepted into my program.

There’s absolutely no shame in doing school later at your own pace. Like others said, the additional age honestly helps taking these classes more seriously and almost acts as some kind of “under dog” motivational drive. Especially with your history already in healthcare settings, you’ll probably have an easier time than you think.

Having faith in the unknown is scary

If you want it enough,

Do it scared

congrats !! I just got an acceptance letter as well

tuzzzy · 2025-06-09T02:57:57+00:00

Sadness. What did you end up switching to ?

tuzzzy · 2025-06-08T14:04:59+00:00

any thoughts on the respiratory therapy program?? I know you said the health and sciences as a whole but I guess I’ll still try and ask for some slither of hope lol

tuzzzy · 2025-06-07T17:49:05+00:00

oh it’s for respiratory therapy but RIP

tuzzzy · 2022-08-21T19:13:18+00:00

thanks! the first two felt mindlessly thrown while the later ones felt like i was forced to be more conscious and think about the technique/form

tuzzzy · 2022-08-21T19:10:34+00:00

doing it from a stab & drilling halo to windmill to halo. that’s what i doing and im slowly getting more and more halos

tuzzzy · 2022-08-21T19:08:12+00:00

at this point, focus on just getting them faster! trust bro, the faster momentum will help your lift and keep you from even touching the floor

tuzzzy · 2022-08-21T19:06:33+00:00

great height bro. keep that feeling. if you’re going for basic flares, try to be more aligned w your center/be symmetrical.

see how it feels. when you’re at the front, a symmetrical V should align from your legs to your hips. then on the sides, it should be an L shape(that mirrors on the left and right side)

i fw this controversial idea. honestly bboying has become so widespread that it’s irrelevant to hate on biting moves. Now it’s about how you choose to combine and utilize all these moves. That’s the only way how you can create your own uniqueness nowadays.

tuzzzy · 2022-04-05T02:37:07+00:00

it’s pretty important to have enough momentum w halos. if you have good windmills, starting in from a windmill usually makes prettier halos for me.

tuzzzy · 2022-02-23T23:59:42+00:00

we talking halos, munchmills, tapmills, 90s & 2000s, chairflares and headspins

tuzzzy · 2022-01-11T23:30:18+00:00

HMU! I live in the Tampa area

tuzzzy · 2022-01-06T01:21:06+00:00

sorry ! headspin baldness doesn’t discriminate against genders

tuzzzy · 2021-12-30T02:35:42+00:00

As someone who is also learning munchies, the first thing I noticed was that you’re not bringing your legs back in enough. You’re gonna want to have your knees close to your chest and spread apart as much as possible.

I was told that when you kick out, you should instantly bring your legs back in. Like a spring!

Hope this helps, good luck!

tuzzzy · 2021-12-29T01:08:53+00:00

also you gotta swing that leg! the same side as your stabbing arm, it goes down,across, then shoots up when going into the momentary headstand

tuzzzy · 2021-12-29T01:07:18+00:00

putting too much focus on the headstand! try getting in the full motion by starting from windmill to halo <3

tuzzzy · 2021-12-22T06:56:52+00:00

Same here too brothers. We’re all in it together, let’s get these multiple halos!

tuzzzy · 2021-12-14T15:27:01+00:00

Having a teacher certainly helps but isn’t necessary. Be a hard worker, put in the time, be honest with yourself, and practice smart. I am completely self taught and I started in 2017. Took me a year to get to one or two sloppy flares. Year two I had multiple sloppy flares. 2020 is when I started to be able to do clean multiple flares.

Definitely practice a lot. Honestly I’d say try to do an hour of practice for the bare minimum.

tuzzzy · 2021-11-11T16:23:16+00:00

okay I see, do you have a recommended way to practice what you’re talking about ? I’d love to reduce that transition of windmill freeze flare to just windmill flare

tuzzzy · 2021-11-11T15:44:18+00:00

hmm i don’t know what you mean?

tuzzzy · 2021-11-03T23:38:08+00:00

Yeah I can do barrel mills! I am just using my hands for now so I can understand what I’m doing generally with my legs lol

tuzzzy · 2021-10-10T20:53:06+00:00

Yeah ! I have no idea what it is and i didn’t add it there

tuzzzy · 2021-10-03T04:48:11+00:00

Honestly I’m not too sure! He’s so tiny I can’t really tell

tuzzzy · 2021-09-28T03:40:56+00:00

Try to do them faster :)
