It is human nature to want what you don't have. Trust me- plenty of people who are married w/kids would love to go to college, be single, and have the hugest stressor be final exams. (not that I'm making light of exams- they are stressful)
Try to take a few moments every day to focus on where you are now- not where you want to be- and think about how you can make THIS day the best you possibly can.
When you were 5 you only wanted to be happy and make others happy- to get thru the day w/out sadness or injury while learning new things- try to make that your goal now and see if you don't feel a bit lighter. There is a pure beauty in simplicity that can have a positive effect on us all
