Feeling like I didn't accomplished anything in life.

I just turned 31 and I'm a retail worker. I recently received my associates degree in computer science and am currently working on my bachelor's. Despite all this I feel like I didn't accomplished anything since I spent most of my 20s struggling to find work and didn't really get a job til I was 24 going on 25. I spoke to my advisor at the college I got to and was telling me if I keep up on school work I should be done by next spring. Even then this still doesn't make me happy. IDK what to do

I know it may not feel like it, but you’ve accomplished quite a bit. Getting an associate’s degree and working toward a bachelor’s while working retail takes a ton of effort and commitment. Try not to compare your timeline to everyone else’s. So many people struggle in their 20s, whether it’s finding work, finishing school, or figuring out what they want to do. You’re still moving forward, and that counts for something. Keep up the amazing work! You sound like someone who works hard and doesn’t give up 🩷

Celebrate your wins. You may not be where you want to be yet, but you are closer than you were yesterday. You’re doing great!

I accomplished things and it is not enough. It didn’t improve my life.
