Describe your own path towards achieving social-clock milestones such as financial independence, leaving home (nest-leaving), relationships, and career. If you are or were backsliding, how does that feel? What are (or were) your social clock priorities for getting married or having a career? If you are a nontraditional returning student, do you now feel off time for your age? If you are living in the nest, how does that feel? To get credit for this question, your answer must SPECIFICALLY refer to studies and concrete examples cited in the text, as well as specific examples from your life.
