Am I going through a phase or just getting older?

Just slow down and take each day as it comes.The older you get the more confused life becomes.Nursing is a very stressful vocation and there is very little time for socialising while you are training.A couple of years will soon pass and you will have more free time on your hands.I think that by the time you are 30,you will be either married or in a relationship,thinking about a house,a family etc.There is no rush.Let the economy sort itself out.Nothing you can do anyway.As for your dad,I am sure you have got your head screwed on and will not make the mistakes that he has made.Good luck to you girl.I hope that you fulfil your dreams and live a happy life.
