Hey everyone,
I'm not really sure which forum to put this in, so I just stuck it in here. I'm kind of seeking the advice of people a bit older than me who have gone past the college milestone.
My boyfriend and I plan to get married. The issue is when. He wants to wait until after he finishes grad school. I'm 20, he's 21, he's a junior in undergrad and I'm a sophomore. The way he sees it, once he finishes grad school there will be less stress and less to handle and therefore a better environment to get married in.
So what I want to know is, does it ever really get any better? I guess I'm feeling kind of hopeless right now. I mean, we're putting all this hope on graduation and that life will be better once we have our degrees, but is it really? It's supposed to be really hard to get a job, and then money is a huge stress, not to mention kids, etc, etc. I'm scared and I just want to know there's something worthwhile that I'm heading towards and I'm not just going to end up with even more problems.
If that makes sense at all. Does anyone have any stories? Does anyone have any advice? Does the world get better?

Right now I'm so exhausted and stressed that I can barely see straight. I don't think I can handle a lifetime of being this stressed.
