Search Results: tougher than my boyfriend

Hi. I turned 23 this year. I dont have any college degree. I dropped out about 2 years ago because i was unmotivated and i was not passionate at all of what i was studying for, but im getting older and time doesn't stop for anyone.

I can't keep waiting because the fact that i have wasted 5 years of my life for the mere fact that i dont know what i want, is getting more ridiculous and embarrassing each year. Lately i cannot stop thinking about going back to college. I have to choose a path this time because at least i know where i would be going. Last time i went to college i just chose a certain study but didn't know what it was for.

My mom is a nurse and have been telling me to study nursing. This is only because i keep telling her i dont know what i want. Years ago i’d just ignore her, but I've just been stuck and need to move forward, so i have started to actually think about being a nurse. It seems to pay enough. I dont have a kid, or any major bills i have to spend money on. So it seems good enough for me.

I have a lot on my mind. Like how hard it might be, the classes, the actual job, and im scared of going to college again, but i realize i have to try because the other option is staying where i have been my whole life and its draining the life out of me. My friends have graduated, moved places, getting real jobs, and im still the same as i was at 18.

I have a boyfriend (somehow) who loves me and is supportive of me. He made me realize I've just been making excuses to not go back. That im just scared of failing (typical). I was surprised he gave me a little tough love lol. I have nothing else going on in my life. I know some people dont need college to succeed but i know im not one of those people.

Am i right/wrong to just wanna pursue nursing for this reason? Im guessing even if i regret it, it won't be a bigger regret than staying where i am at right now. Right

Or sensitive, but I'd say gentle is the right word here.

What I'm talking about is they act all tough, sometimes to the point of seeming arrogant (even macho), talk sh! te and when they go on about sex topic they bolster about rough sex and the number of girls they've had, but once you're with them/date them and it's behind closed doors, they turn into these cuddly, mushy, gentlemans... it's crazy :D

My friend says most guys are naturally p*ssies like this. xD

I've had 2 boyfriends and both were like this so this is what I'm also coming from.

My ex was the sweetest on our first dates, he was kinda big as in tall and heavy but not exactly overweight (simply looked like a teddy bear) but was gentler and softer with me than I could have ever expected. Sh! te, I miss him.
