For the past year, my immediate and extended family constantly asked me when I was going to go to grad school. Almost every time I saw them the same question would come up, followed up with "what are you waiting for?!". It was awful. I spent a lot of time upset, frustrated, and feeling like a failure. You will go if you want to, and if it's right. I wasn't sure if I would go, but now I just started a dual degree master's program at Loyola's Graduate School of Business. Don't let other people's constant nagging decide for YOU what YOU need to do. You'll make the right choice either way, and you'll make it for yourself! P.S. Loved the Halloween pumpkins and stories!

You will go if you want to, and if it’s right. I wasn’t sure if I would go, but now I just started a dual degree master’s program at Loyola’s Graduate School of Business. Don’t let other people’s constant nagging decide for YOU what YOU need to do.

You’ll make the right choice either way, and you’ll make it for yourself!

P.S. Loved the Halloween pumpkins and stories!

I think you deserve to sit back and relax for a bit. School will always be there if or when you want to go back. Everyone is always in such a rush rush rush to finish school... I say take your time, enjoy it. Is it possible to do both, work and grad school? Part time grad school, online classes? It might be different up there in canada land, I'm not sure how the whole school stuff works up there=) I adore your pumpkins, they are amazing!!

The reason I wanted to go back so desperately wasn't to get a piece of paper that says "look, I'm smart, I really am!" but because I honestly loved learning. And right now I want to go back to get the proper skills I can't really learn at home on my own. I felt super intimidated the other day when I went to a dinner with all David's friends. They're all finishing their masters and in proper professional jobs like occupational therapy and education and law and accounting. And I felt very intimidated indeed!! But I think there's nothing wrong with making your own way without going to grad school or even finishing with masters or honours or anything. Plenty of people are successful and perfectly happy without it and I think honestly what you have right now is fantastic. You have an amazing home life and owning your own business, well you're well on your way already and plenty of people do that too without ever going to business school or anything. I'm not 100% convinced that school is really worth a couple years of financial hell and ridiculous amounts of stress when you can have a happy healthy work and home life without it...

My days off end in tears as well. My priorities have shifted so much in the past year and I don’t think I’ve been able to mentally catch up with them and re-do my life as needed.
