5.5 years ago, I did something no one in my bloodline had ever done: I applied to university.
Today, a few decades after missing my chance in my teens being homeless with zero finances... I submitted my final project.
I won't lie, there was some immediate cathartic, ugly crying. But I did it, Mastofriends, I bloody did it.
Now the ridiculous 2+ month wait for results.
My degree started before covid, whilst running two businesses, with two kids (solo). Bit proud, won't lie.
