[The Worst Witch]

I’m glad I’m not the only one.

Elmer, I think its about control for me too. I’ve been a student basically since I left school in 2004, with a few years here and there of working, and after many, many years of trying I’m very nearly qualified as a nursery teacher. The end of January marks the start of my last ever semester - I’ve never got as far as this before and although I’m proud of myself, I’m also scared of what the next step means. Studying has been my life for well over half of it, and I don’t know wbat I’ll do with myself when its over. I kind of want to press the button so I don’t have to move on, but if I stay a student forever firstly I’m going to run out of money from funding etc and secondly, I’ll never have the things I want from life like my own house, the chance to have kids with my partner, getting married etc and being a ‘proper’ adult.

Lauren, sorry you’re feeling like this too :(. Hopefully someone will come along with suggestions that will maybe help both of us not to press that button.
