Good morning! I just wanted to say that I decided this morning (around 1 am) to go back to college and finish my degree. I had gone to a decent state university for a couple of years, my parents paying everything, and dropped out because I thought I wanted to be a "real" artist and that college was basically bullshit. Almost two years has gone by. I was playing local bars in a band, getting high often, and living with my girlfriend. I was generally depressed and anxious. About a year ago, I got a job at butcher shop (to be more of a man), started to listening to FDR, and realized it wasn't school that I really wanted to drop-out of, it was my family of origin. Since discovering this truth, I have been worried about my future, setting goals without reaching them, and just all around foggy. I have been thinking about finishing college, but I was worried about paying for it myself, since I had de-FOO'd, I'm pretty much on my own for the first time. So, FINALLY, with a ton of help from the FDR1534 - The Case for College podcast I decided to go back and admit I was wrong about higher education. I'm looking forward to getting everything I can out of it! Has anyone else had a similar experience? Or have any tips for college? Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoy your day!
