i dropped out with roughly 30 credits to go for my bachelors couldn't afford to go anymore my college experience is far different than anyone elses as i doubt anyone else here attended a military college
College can be useful and enjoyable for a lot of things. But nobody needs to go to be smart or have a successful life.
i withdrew from college the first time after a psychotic break... mostly due to the fact that i was studying inane bullshit that i never cared about. i traveled around for a bit, i was "vagabonding" for a while. i saw some really fucked up shit and decided to get my shit together before i get killed. the second time i withdrew from the second college was because i was asked to leave before they kick me out. i was caught with drugs on campus and the "zero tolerance" policy fucked me over. yeah it was just a gram of weed, pretty fucked up situation. then i went to community college for a year. just finishing finals right now. and i'll be attending a 4 year art school in the fall. i cant think of anything i'd rather be doing with my time than studying art in an art school while hanging out with like-minded people.
Just more evidence that all the so-called "war on drugs" is effective at is fucking up lives... and to think that its true purpose is to make ambitious politicians look strong on law and order is just doubly sickening... I'll fuck over a fellow citizen because I aspire to higher office- and to think of how elected officials have acted over the past thirty years it seems that if they were really tough on crime they'd both houses of the federal government into prison buses and lock them in a maximum security prison. Zero tolerance for a fucking gram but it's ok to fork over trillions to criminal banks... or to give the a-okay to perform genetic experimentation on our food source, conceal the products in our food supply and not make that open public knowledge... or wage illegal wars on behalf of global corporations... Sorry for diverting the topic... please do carry on...
i did two years ago and it was the worst decision i ever made. I am finally about to return to college to major in secondery education, usworld history , maybe minor in web design (i love coding php interfacing with mysql). I've never been more excited for this nor serious about it. I work two dead end jobs and I've had enough. I have to do something I love for the rest of my life, not something I watch the clock from 8am to 430pm
