Nontraditional Student bloggers, comment about a nontrad blog today!

I love reading other nontraditional student blogs. 
Some of these blogs tell about the day to day discoveries they are making as a nontraditional student. Sometimes I get ideas from them on what to write about. Other times I read them to find out new stories, completely different from my story of when I was a nontraditional student in 2004-6. (I can't believe it was so long ago now!)

Here are just a few nontraditional student blogs you may enjoy reading. I have added their names, where I can. Some bloggers don't share their names, which I can understand. I hope to add to this list soon.

Older Non-Trad Student (Zickbee, An Arizona native. She has graduated, but has some good advice for other nontrads here, plus of course her earlier postings.

Diaries of a Neurotic Non-Trad (Nicki from New York, USA)
The Mature? Student (A mature 2nd year female student from Galway, Ireland)

Studying Parent (This student has just finished her dissertation. She had been going back to school for about 7 years before that.)

She recommends these additional sites on her blog, which I look forward to checking out.
