I totally agree that it is better to wait until you are ready to go or finish. If you jump in too early, it will not be a good experience for you and you might even end up leaving without a degree, which would be even more frustrating. You have your own set of things to deal with, in fact, moreimposrtant things than worying about who's going to graduate first. I know it feels like a reminder of everything that you are missing out on because of depression. I know that you feel that others look down on you for not graduating first, but actually, holding back might be far better. HUGGS, and when they time comes, let us know!
