Denise,

It can be hard when we hit such milestones in our lives that we would look back in regret.  We can mourn our lost opportunities and past poor circumstances that shaped our lives today.

Each moment now is an opportunity to do something different.  All we got is the present moment.  What choices can we make to get to where we want to go?

You have already identified your desire to return to college.

One step at a time.  Focus on taking those steps.
