Yaşlandıkça insanların ne kadar cesaret kırıcı oldukları beni şaşırtıyor
Åžu anda 30’lu yaÅŸlarımdayım ve 20’li yaÅŸlarımı, iÅŸe yaramayan oyunculuÄŸun peÅŸinden koÅŸarak geçirdim. Hala orada burada seçmelere katılmaya çalışıyorum ama hiçbir ÅŸey beklemiyorum.
MaaÅŸ çekinden maaÅŸ çekine yaÅŸayan otel ve restoranlarda çalışıyorum. Bundan o kadar sıkıldım ki devlet üniversitesine kaydolmaya karar verdim. (BaÅŸka bir ülkeden gelen bir yetimim ve lisans notum olmadığı için yeniden baÅŸladım) Bazıları bana bu yaÅŸta ne kadar israf olduÄŸunu söylüyor. Åžu ana kadar As’ı aldım ve bir Ivy League enstitüsüne girmek istiyorum. Reddit’te bir soru sordum ve geleneksel olmayan bir öğrenci olduÄŸum ve bu yaÅŸtayken bunun ne kadar anlamsız olduÄŸu ve yaÅŸ farkı nedeniyle okul kulüplerinde aÄŸ kuramayacağım için çaÄŸrıldım.
Sanki 30 yaşına geldiÄŸinizde hiçbir ÅŸey baÅŸaramadıysanız, kaybeden sayılırsınız…

Those people are dumb as fuck and miserable. College is for everyone and every age. Everyone’s path is different. I’m saying this as someone who will be starting school again at 30. People on Reddit tend to be pessimistic, everyone in my life is supportive of my decision. I don’t even know you, but I’m supportive of your decision!
You still have over half a life left to live. I also hate it when people say you are “too old” or should give up.
I think if you’re in your thirties, don’t take criticism or advice from someone in their early twenties to heart. They have no idea yet just how often ambitions don’t pan out and how messy life gets after college. I distinctly remember how harshly I judged people when I was that young… needless to say, life taught me grace and compassion the hard way. 😂
It sounds like how you’re viewing life through a glass-half-empty set of lenses, and the negative opinions of the internet are affecting your own opinions. While we cannot help but be influenced by those things oftentimes, a more positive Outlook, gratitude, and self-belief can make you steadfast and resolute on your own path. I’m 54, have had every position in the restaurant business except owner while I spent 10 years in college doing that. The first year failing, the next three in community college, the next four at 4-year college and the next two in that credential program to become a teacher. I’ve been a teacher for over 25 years, and I’m looking forward to the free time I’ll have in retirement so I can go back to school just to learn whatever I feel like learning at a community college. First class will be electrician stuff. Not because I want to be an electrician, but because I know how to turn off a breaker but I’m not sure I wouldn’t kill myself more in-depth electricity work. Just interests me. Believe in yourself. Do what you want to do at any age. I still DJ and paint in my spare time, mountain bike all the time. Don’t stop being a kid. Beginner’s eyes at any age are what keeps life magical and new. Ignore the haters. There’s a lot of them on the internet. Good luck!
