Exactly. I just turned 20, could've gotten my bachelor's two years ago, and yet I still don't have one. And so what? I've spent every day loving the experience of whatever it is I'm doing, I don't even regret exploring all the dead ends. It's all part of life, even when your path twists more than others'.

Edit: I should credit my fiancée who is halfway through the last program that I left– she has much more patience for all of things that I would only see as a poor use of time (i.e. taking introductory classes in which I already have 20+ credits at junior or senior level). Otherwise perhaps I'd be a bitter sap, which is probably how I come off anyway after a couple days of no sleep. Dead ends for me are not for her and vice versa, so it's all rather interesting.
