| Comment | Wee bit younger (nearly 30 now) than you but I was in the same situation - sucked in by the hospitality business for a long time. Convinced myself I wouldn’t get into the uni course I want to do so always put it off. Long story short, couldn’t sleep when I was on holiday one night - decided to apply for an access course at college to get into uni even though I knew it was full but I thought ‘fuck it, I’ll see what the application process is like’. Wake up in the morning to college phoning me asking to come in for an interview, I say no, i can’t, I’m on holiday so went for the interview the day I got back. Did the interview and the told me the course was full but they liked my application. Ended up scoring 97% in entry exam. Fast forward just over 2 years and I’m in second year of my absolute dream course at uni that I talked myself out of for so many years. A guy on my course was 36 and got into the same uni course as me but in a different uni so he’s now 38 years old and in second year.
I say just do it! Age is just a number and if you feel like age is a big factor then you’re not getting any younger, so do it now if this is what you really want to do. The worst they will say is no.
Just thought I’d share my success story in case it motivated you at all. Good luck and all the best! |
