Relatively recently I had a conversation with a co-worker about going to the college our high-school guidance counselor recommended. I did, and it was great. He did, and it was terrible.
Be careful about taking others' opinions of what school to attend.

Speaking of school, today was my first day back in school! it's absolutely weird. I'm almost 10 years older than the youngest guy in my class.
Also, a girl in my class is exactly as old as I am and it is our birthday today. Weird. She's a cutie, too.
I'm massively over-qualified for this shit, but at least that means that I'll be done with it in one and a half years.

I've been struggling with this for the past two and a half years now, it was especially bad at the beginning of this semester because I haven't liked the major that I'm actually now done with for at least that long, and only because I haven't ever had a decent paying job have I stuck with it as long as I have. For the moment I'm just trying to push through with it to finish the degree because everyone around me has told me that I would not being doing the "responsible thing" for the amount of time I've spent on it (since I will be finishing up in May, most likely) just so I can say that I have a degree.
To add to this last minute ultra-stress I get every semester (that's resulted in me now being a super senior through numerous class failures and dropouts) my boss also just said that he's ready to promote me although I've only been working where I have since mid-June and that I have more potential than any other person he's seen in a good while and that I could easily be manager of my own store by next year, so I know now that I don't actually have the excuse of not having a decent job that I could afford to move out with anymore, so I'm starting to wonder. This also comes from the fact that my manager has a Masters in some kind of Math and the assistant manager also has one, and neither of them seem to be doing anything other than what they are now, so why the hell do I need it?
I think you should do what you want to do without letting other people throw the pressure at you of not completing your education "the right way". Like you said, you have a good job and you can always go back and finish your education later. If you hate it that much, I can't be on the other side of that argument telling you to finish, because to be honest the only reason I didn't drop out earlier is because I was too spineless to listen to myself and let other people push me here instead.

In other news, lately I've been making the worst thing ever. I put toffee bits in a cup, and then put in some ovaltine, and add milk... and then I eat it with a spoon. WHY AM I DOING THIS

So I have Jury Duty scheduled for next week. It will probably be the day after I start working at my new job. I have already served once and while that ended up being an okay experience I'd rather not do it again. Would being the only full-time employee where I work be enough to excuse me from duty? Otherwise I'm gonna try arriving to court about 5 minutes before I'm supposed to report, so hopefully I end up on the outermost number of jurors whom they'd probably outright excuse for the day.
