What’s the most stupid thing you’ve done? – Blog Project Day 17
Getting kicked out of college.
I know, I was shocked too. Not that I should have been, I kinda had it coming.
I received a certified letter in the mail.(I don’t know of any good ever coming from a certified letter) I had to pick it up at the post office so after grabbing it I stopped by the family restaurant to give it a read. It was devastating. Like someone breaking up with you in a text message. Easily one of the top ten worst moments of my life. Personal experience aside, like I said, I had it coming.
I had a bad semester. I hated most of what I was doing, classes/major/etc… and I hadn’t learned to deal with tough situations. Rather than dealing with the problem, I did nothing. I didn’t do homework, or go to class much. This of course made my grades drop off the scale and I was in a hole I wouldn’t make it out of. I didn’t do what I should have and I paid the price. It was an expensive lesson. Mentally as well as financially. Of course on the flip side, as stupid as it was, it was a part of my journey. I would not be where I’m at if I hadn’t been kicked out.
You know that I don’t like failure and this was a huge one. A bonehead move that changed my life.
