Whoa. Why are you asking if you’re here to fight everyone. 

Look we’re statistically older and more experienced than you, some of us went back to school in the middle of our undergraduate. Some of us had 15 years between our undergraduate and masters and some of us even worked as an advisor to both graduate and undergraduate students and have seen this and/or experienced it ourselves. Some of went back for our masters 15 years later and also advised students.

Why idk (I mean I do but that’s not the point of this part) it just is. No one is stopping you go ahead and do it but we’re trying to advise you, your motivation, connection and dedication will be forever altered. College seems overwhelming to some, boring to others like they’re in a bubble to others, because of that ‘no break’ sprint through the marathon mentality. You don’t think, you just do. It isn’t until years later you realize how much you retained and are applying in your career. 

Step out of that bubble and statistically it had been extremely hard for students to get back in the swing of things and care and be motivated to finish. They just see the world different broader and have more of it on their shoulder. 

You have one of two options, step out and get care outside or reach out to services at your university that can include campus mental health services and study habit development. If you can think of it, there’s an underused office somewhere in a basement just pleading to help you.

Or not, and hope you’re part of like the 1% that does successfully transition back. Either way your university will allow you to come back and they won’t stop you but you did ask for our advice and that’s it

Thank you sir for being straight forward with me, I'm sorry everyone that I "fought'' with. I understand statistically it will be harder and I've factored that in
