Ten things to remember when going back to college at 38.

 I am slated to attend college starting in the summer of 2023. Here are some things that I would like to remember when going back for the first time in 15 years. 

• They can take it all away at any moment. Don't be too attached. 
• You only need to be right once. 
• You have no kids and no obligations, so you have the rest of your life to get your degree.
• You'll feel better once you get into the swing of things. 
• You will always have your previous associate degree. 
• You can test out of some courses, and you already have. 
• A piece of paper doesn't determine your future. You do. 
• Many of the wealthiest people in the world dropped out. 
• You actually have food this time, and shelter, and heat, and safety, and money.
• The best thing that could happen to you is that you drop out and go back to business.
• (bonus) Failure is only the first step. 
• (bonus) If you fail this time, you can go back on a scholarship.
