Aibu to tell you I'm going to graduate today?

[Flipflopflipflap]

I don't want this to be a stealth boast or anything like that, but I am lying in bed like a little girl all overexcited. OH is out like a light and has had a virus all week, and I don't want to wake him up just for this (although he's been incredibly supportive over the three years we've been together and the five years we've been friends.)
I just feel so bloody proud of myself although I can't vocalise it in front of my friends as they're all graduates straight from school.
I just think the whole process was such a challenge for me, I'm normally much a defeatist and I encountered so much adversity over these last four years, from escaping an abysive partner, to having a friend murdered, to losing my grandad, being diagnosed with a physical disability, finding a new partner, sitting finals whilst pregnant with morning sickness, then losing a baby at 21w the day my final assignment was due.
I thought it would never end, and it's all over. I feel like I can take on the world.

If any of you lovely mymsnetters are contemplating a return to education I would say do it everyday. You'll be amazing

Thanks to anyone who read this. I just wanted to get it off my chest

Xxxxxxx

Congratulations!

Well done brainy bird
We are proud of you

YADNBU
Many congratulation **flipflop and good luck with your chosen career

Congratulations, enjoy today

Congratulations! Very well done indeed.

Sorry for your loses and tough times.

Congratulations and very well done, all the best for your future success.

I expect you have fallen asleep by now, so this is just a tip for the future: when you feel 'overexcited' like that, and have no one convenient to talk to, get a pen and paper and just write out everything that is in you head. Don't try to structure what you are writing, just write what is at the top of your head, or in your heart. Keep writing til it is all you will fall asleep. You may fine yourself still wakeful: get going with the writing again. It must be the physical act of writing, rather than typing.

Eventually, you will have got it all down and then your brain will switch off and let you sleep.

Read what you have written when you have some time, then maybe structure it and write out the key point for yourself, its all good.

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! Well done, what an achievement! Enjoy your day, revel in it and commit it to memory. Get lots of photos if you can. 🎓🎓🎓🎓🎓🏅🏅🏅🎉🎉🎉🎉
I just graduated on Saturday at the ripe old age of 43, it was amazing, right up there with my wedding and the birth of my DD. Have the most wonderful day!

🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾 WELL DONE

Congratulations! How inspiring

Have a wonderful day.

I'm loving this!! Congratulations !! Xx

Huge congratulations! Hope you have a wonderful day.

Fantastic, flipflop. And as it's AIBU, then no, YAdefinitelyNBU. I loved reading your post, it's so inspiring to read about women like you who overcome so much crap stuff in order to get themselves an education. I did my degree as a mature student, and I well remember that top-of-the-world feeling. I hope you have a brilliant day, you've more than earned it.

And because I'm a strictly fan, have some

Huge congratulations. Even though I don't know you, I'm so proud of you! Make the most of your day - you deserve it.

Well done! It's a massive/inspiring achievement!

Congratulations! And do tell your friends - I went to uni straight from school and would be so proud of a friend who did it as an adult - it's so much harder to juggle studying with real life adulting.

What's the dream career?

How did you day go OP?

Hope it was fab

Well done, I hope you had a fabulous day. I'm 39 and just starting 2nd year of open university and feel so proud of myself for getting this far and I can't wait to graduate 😁

Congratulations!!!!
👏👏👏👏👏🎓🎓🎓🎓
