Ugh. One thing I do relate to- I commend you for knowing yourself and that you would not be comfortable starting a family until school is over. It was the hardest thing for me to wait until after graduation to get pregnant but I am SO GLAD I did.Shayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06973312541039980567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2869485690556227725.post-76699330305960840652011-12-07T07:21:57.994-08:002011-12-07T07:21:57.994-08:00Such a great post!

It's okay to be sad when things don't go according to our plan, but at least you're on track to finish and graduate and THAT'S what matters :)Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00264648257398440130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2869485690556227725.post-367568466216623222011-12-06T20:36:39.786-08:002011-12-06T20:36:39.786-08:00You know how you said it's like Heavenly Fathe...You know how you said it's like Heavenly Father's letting you know He's proud of you? Well he is! Because you ARE making the right choices! And I am so so so sorry you had to get so sick, and you're graduating later than you planned. But I just know that Heavenly Father is proud of you, because you are being so faithful through your trials! And I know that everything will work out in his perfect timing!Courtney Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00932251648323616331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2869485690556227725.post-68060423677914095272011-12-06T15:00:55.460-08:002011-12-06T15:00:55.460-08:00Such a great post!

Not personally but through some people who have had it. I actually know someone who died from it. I am sorry it put you behind... but I bet you learned more about yourself during that time then any other! :) Good for you for going through and finishing what you started :) Education is important!Alycia Grayce (Crowley Party)https://www.blogger.com/profile/16438358678220412938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2869485690556227725.post-48838595790579300432011-12-06T08:52:14.392-08:002011-12-06T08:52:14.392-08:00So TRUE!

I have definitely had times when I felt frustrated and sad about things not going the way I had planned or hoped and everyone telling you to stop complaining, etc. isn't what I needed. I needed sympathy. I needed a simple, "You know what, that is lame! It totally stinks!"<br />So while yes, I believe you are right that it will work out in the end and I'm sure one day you will look back on it and say "OHH! THAT's why that happened." <br /><br />but for now. you can be bummed, because it does stink to deal out the dough and work really hard to have something out of your control come along and throw a wrinkle in the plans. It's hard, and it's ok to feel sad about it, as long as you don't give up on it. Which I know you haven't and you are working just as hard if not harder than before. :) You got this!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03772414364327865691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2869485690556227725.post-90542814490692136182011-12-05T15:24:44.012-08:002011-12-05T15:24:44.012-08:00dude, girl. i feeeeeel ya! last year i got a reaaa...dude, girl. i feeeeeel ya! last year i got a reaaaallllyyy bad concussion (like couldn't remember names, faces, etc...) and had to medically defer the semester. It sucked. Not only because of the wasted money but because that meant I'd be pushed back graduating another semester.... and now it's gotten even more tricky with a little kiddo, like you said. <br /><br />But, ya know, as scary as it is. You are right. everything'll be okay. But it is okay to be sad. be sad and move on. That's what my grandma used to always say. If you're not recognizing that a situation sucks then you're just ignoring it & that does no good. :) You got this. <br /><br />ps what are you going into? we've taken a lot of the same classes and i'm really curious!Dara McFarlanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10091963744224829979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2869485690556227725.post-85087739494553346472011-12-05T13:44:40.394-08:002011-12-05T13:44:40.394-08:00You know what? That would depress me and scare me ...You know what? That would depress me and scare me to death too. This is my first year of college, and I've already gone through the emotional wringer--first week high, mid-semester depression, second wind, end-of-semester exhaustion...and honestly, I've been on such a rollercoaster this whole time it's hard for me to even picture going back next semester. (which I'll suck it up and do anyway) <br /><br />But I can't even imagine still sticking with it after a setback like you've had. AND being a wife and keeping a house and doing all that other stuff that I don't have to do yet. <br /><br />I'm praying for you, and cheering you on (in my brain, of course. my family would think I was weird if I just randomly yelled "Go Alexis!")<br /><br />Just think how happy you'll be when you finally have that degree you've wanted so much and worked so hard for. It's kind of like going to the dentist...it sucks, but once it's over it doesn't seem so bad after all. You can do it. :)<br /><br />-LeAhnna<br /><br />lifeinanutshell18.blogspot.comleah jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01458550157604211027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2869485690556227725.post-15118181756222967112011-12-05T12:45:48.435-08:002011-12-05T12:45:48.435-08:00It really is ok :) And I'm glad you don't...It really is ok :) And I'm glad you don't feel sad about it today, but in the event that you do sometimes, it really is ok!
