Late Night Thoughts | College

I've been trying to get to sleep for the last fifteen minutes, but my mind won't shut off. I keep thinking of the future, of where I want to go, what I want to do.

I think of it so often, that I sort of scare myself out of a lot of things.

Tonight, I find myself once again thinking that I want to go to college and further my studies. I want to build a career, and that just seems like the only way to do that. But I'm also against the idea, because everyone is going to college, racking up debt, and most the time they don't even get a job in their field of study, so what's even the point.

I'd like to teach English, at least I think I'd like that. Freshmen English, to be specific.

There are so many variables though. It's such a scary thought. I don't even know where I'd begin.

It's times like these that I wish there were offices that would help people like me, who have been out of school for a few years, get back to it. Help me apply to whatever colleges I find interest in, help me figure out the mess of scholarships, help me understand the system.

Does anyone have any advice they can offer?
