Where are you now?

[PollyannaFlower46]

Now I'm at work. ;-)

But seriously, I'm 23, and about nine months away from my BS in Criminal Justice. I'm further behind in my schooling than I anticipated being, but when "planning my life," I never really anticipated the bumps in the road and the set backs that would have me being 23 and still in college. I guess the important thing is that I'm past the set backs and working towards something.

I didn't end up going away to school like I had originally planned, but after developing some close relationships with my professors at school, I'm glad that I am where I am. I started college as a journalism major, transfered to where I am now as a Marketing major and soon switched to Criminal Justice, wanting to be a lawyer. When I started to have doubts about wanting to practice law, I was lucky enough to have someone who cared enough to talk to me and thanks to him I'm now 100% sure with what I'm doing with my life. Had I gone away to school, I would've never met him and had the chance to be in his classroom and be taken under his wing, the things he's done for me make me happy to have had the bumps in the road (maybe I should tell him that ).

Financially I'm working on getting my credit back together, and I have two credit cards with zero balances in my own name, something I'm very proud of. Slowly but surely, I'm getting my finances together, although for the next several years, I'll need a cosigner for everything. I am however about $60k in debt for my education and will need to take out additional loans for my masters.

As far as my personal life goes, I'm quite content and happy.
