<p>I hated my college while I was there. It didn’t nurture me, and it barely educated me. It was large, and I was lost. I quickly changed majors when it got too hard in my original choice, and no one ever ever ever gave me encouragement or told me to “stick with it; you can do it!” </p>
<p>I didn’t become the person I am until about six to eight years later. DH played a sport with people from his college – an Ivy – and we hung out with the guys and their girlfriends/wives. I decided I was like those people – just not yet living like them. So I took matters into my own hands, went to graduate school, and “fulfilled my destiny” to a much greater extent.</p>
