I've been researching colleges lately with the goal of getting my Bachelor's in Business Administration. I have been very fortunate to have worked for many people who have stressed job experience and skills over education and have had a very successful career as a result. However, I have future goals that will require a degree.
I went to college right after high school but never finished. My heart wasn't in it at the time. Not finishing has been a regret I've always had. My advice to anyone who wants to quit: Don't do it! Stick it out! Don't use me as an example of someone who has succeeded despite a college degree. My opportunities have been very limited because of it.

The mind-body connection
I have read a lot about the mind-body connection. I don't go as far as some in believing we bring all illness and disease upon ourselves but I do know there is truth to much of it.
Lately, I've been going through a lot of difficult situations. I won't go into detail but I will say it has created stress where there once was peace and has affected every aspect of my life.
Over the past month, I have had pain in my right knee I never had before. I have had knee problems since I was a child but this was different. Shortly after the knee pain started, I began having problems with my lower back. Again, it was the first time I'd experienced this. Overall, I felt like I was falling apart and it was making me depressed.
Last night, I unloaded my troubles to a dear, patient friend who coaxed them from me. He simply listened and empathized and ended the conversation by telling me to go to bed with a good book assuring me everything would work out. I went to bed with a feeling of peace that has been missing from my life lately. When I got up this morning, the knee and back pain were gone without a trace. I felt rested and ready to face the day.
Could this be a coincidence? I highly doubt it. Is it part of the mind-body connection? I'm starting to believe in it more and more.
