School has never been a place for me, even going through high school made me depressed. I never felt good enough, or "smart" enough because I didn't care to absorb what was always meaningless to me. Homework was beyond stressing when I...

I've dropped out of college not once, not thrice, but twice. I was called a fool for my decision, and am still pestered by well-meaning relatives. What made dropping out seem especially stoopid is the fact that I didn't have to pay a...

Hurray!!! Hurray!!! I finally graduated today. For, today is the day I was finally smart enough to drop out of school.

My 23-year-old baby sister donned a cap, gown, and honors cords proudly this weekend at her college graduation. It's just one thing that motivated me to want to return. I'd been mulling it over in my mind since I quit back in 2007. I...

College doesn't equal knowledge. I just learned this a few weeks ago.
My entire life, I've been indoctrinated with the notion that succeeding in school is the only way to live a happy life. As time went on and as I was brainwashed by my...
