Yeah, I guess I'm kind of a failure by your standards.
I didn't finish post secondary, I dropped out after my second year of my three year program. Most people don't even think the fact that my marks were average is the reason I'm a screw up, they think the fact that I was more than half done and didn't go back is the reason I'm a screw up.
I liked my program. No, I loved it. Classic studies? Yes please! But I decided that it wasn't fully me. I couldn't do anything with it. I was struggling with personal crap (what else is new) and I decided school was not where I needed to be at this point in my life. I like to think I didn't fail, I just found a way that won't work for me (a la Edison).
I'll finish it one day and get my BA. And then use it as a fancy coaster.
I'm a very smart girl; don't let my questionable vocabulary and my childlike innocence throw you off. I'm cute and charming and I usually have great hair*.
So please stop treating me like such a failure, because it's making me feel self conscious and useless. And that will turn me jaded and violent which I can guarantee won't be pleasant for any of us.
*Okay, today I'm suffering from a bad hair day of epic proportions. It's just a fluke.
