Rec | WENT BACK TO COLLEGE

😃

Rec'd on 🤟 Whats Something you're proud of

Dropped out due to drug induced psychosis 9 years ago. Beat heroin addiction. Finished community college and currently working on my undergrad at UD. I started getting clean the day Nancy Reagan died, which will never not be funny. Hell of an elevator pitch…

4 YEAR ASSOCIATES

Dropped out of bachelors sem 1 because of a shitty roommate and no friends and then fucked around and failed a ton of classes in community college and finally finished up while my friends are graduating with bachelors!! Now I’m trying to go back to a school and get some college life experience before I turn into an old man ! Work in progress… on the way I found some work I actually enjoy doing and actually have a bit of a plan and a lot more of a personality than I did at 18! I regret nothing but the F’s on my transcript.. I don’t even regret the amount of time it took me. I eventually got fed up with my shit work ethic and being on academic probation.. last two semesters I had like a 3.7 gpa that I am very proud of. I stagnated really hard at the end of high school and genuinely had zero passion for anything.. finding stuff I actually like took time. I have things to do that aren’t stupid video games and YouTube videos and common ground I can use to make friends.. not content with my current life situation yet but I am more and more content with myself as a personality every day

21 was sad and weird

I graduated from uni and couldn't find a career job. So I moved back home to my little town and into my parents' basement, worked at a cemetery, and taught as a substitute teacher. All my good friends were gone, and I was drinking heavily on weekends with the locals. When my girlfriend realized I was on the fast-track to losership, she cheated on me (she was still at uni) and used that to end it. I did learn how to grow most plants from seed, how to bury someone properly, and how to handle teenagers in a classroom. Then I went to grad school.

Going back to school in your 30s

i was far too busy getting completely obliterated to do so in my early 20s. (do not recommend.) but the experience of doing schoolwork now feels like it did as a little kid. you know.. before puberty knocked me awake to the reality of my shitty home life, which caused a haze of depression to fall over me. in my single digit years i remember being so excited to do school work, and feeling so proud of myself when i did well. im getting a taste of that again. i never lost the exhilarating feeling i got from gaining knowledge that truly excites me. but it’s a beautiful new kinda thing with the added clarity gained from not being ripped on weed 24/7 and the added confidence gained from surviving the shit hand that was given to me as a kid. hang in there 🕊️
