All I have left to complete my BS in Environmental Studies is to write a thesis. I have managed to put it off for SEVEN years now. This is on top of the fact that I am 52 years old and have been working on a bachelor's since I was 17.

At first, I selected a topic for the thesis and was researching wayyy too much. Then I changed my mind several times about my topic, then I just got caught up in life stuff. I last talked to my advisor 2 years ago (I live in another state now) and we came up with a plan. I would write a thesis based on 2 internships I have done. Except I didn't really complete the internships as required for the thesis. I lost the first one, and the second one is really more of an ongoing volunteer position than an actual internship. My advisor is aware of that, and is ok with it, but I still feel like a big fake. I've written maybe a few paragraphs and put it aside.

I don't need this for employment, I'm on SSDI, although I'd also like to work at least part-time. I really just want to finish this because it's a life milestone that I want to get behind me.

I would be so happy if I could finish it this summer -- or at least get a draft or something that I could show my advisor.

Sigh. Just looking for some feedback and some support.
