You think that's something? Assuming he had 5 children with the same woman he presumably married... She'd carry and give birth on average once every 2 years, if we exclude twins, triplets...

Omg I’m turning 38 in a month and I feel the pressure to make a decision. I just got married last year and we know we want them, but I wish I had another 5 years to “grow up”

I don't agree, what if every day is a bad day? No one knows what people have to deal with.

As a college professor - I LOVE having older students in my classes. They usually bring so much flavor and different perspectives to discussions having experienced more life than their 18-22 y/o counterparts.

This has honestly gotten me through the week so far.

There is also an emotional/self actualizing component too.

Having a college degree makes you feel like you are part of the edumacated people of the world.

I disagree because it implies that you need to accept living your life is a hassle.

I have seen documentaries about people who are trapped in the same day over and over again… they have labelled this condition “Groundhog Day.”

It’s a terrible affliction… just be happy you don’t have this ailment.

People who turn life milestones into checklists are assholes.

I read a guy's description of his goals recently and it went like this:

Goals achieved in 2022

1. Graduated college.
2. Got first job offer.
3. Got engaged.
4. Moved to new city.

Granted he is an engineer so not the most enlightened individual. But I wonder what his new wife thinks about being a "goal achieved" or the fact that she is 3rd on the list... And one step above "rented a U-Haul"

I like this - it helps throw off the weight of a bad day to better prepare for what’s next, good or bad.

Same. I mean, who really actually wants to bring a child into this mess?

Not to rain on his parade but this reminded of 16 tons:

"You dig 16 tons and what do you get? Another day older and deeper in debt"

Good for him that he's definitely not going to rely on that diploma

Every day is the same fucking miserable state. Yesterday is today. Today is tomorrow.

At one point, I really do want to go back to college and graduate but our family just really can't afford it right now

Yes it will be worse

"Its never to late for anything"

5 kids at 33 wow. I’m 38 and still haven’t figured out if I want one..

I think people understand that general motivational things like this don’t literally apply to every single situation.

Oh my bad.. lol.. It's Edison

Sooo… “Today is tomorrow’s yesterday”?

I lol'ed. looks like the poster above also needs to go back to College.

Except for when the thing that makes your day bad is your full time job.

What a delusional advice.
