You feel the pressure of going to university because you need a back-up plan, which is why I enrolled.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I had, before I went to college, I had taken a few years off after high school and really had, I guess in those days, I had no intentions of going to college.
I went through withdrawal when I got out of graduate school. It's what you learn, what you think. That's all that counts.
Everyone I went to school with went to university, or took a year off and then went, and that was the norm - so I did the same thing.
In theory, I always think I should totally go back to school, because I don't want to start sinking slowly... I want to learn, blah blah blah. Then I think about actually going and sitting in classes and, man, it sounds terrible.
Each year, I say I'm going to go to school next year. It's inevitable that I'll end up getting my education.
I kept going to different colleges, but dropped out.
The idea of going back to college scares me, and I didn't even go. I went to college for one year, two semesters. If you add up the total time, I probably didn't even go one semester.
I was always told at school that you had to have a back-up plan, but all I ever wanted to do was act. There was no plan B for me.
I just thought Harvard sounded great. So let's see if I get in. I didn't really have a big back-up plan.
For whatever reason, college was just not a huge focus for me. I wasn't planning ahead. I just didn't think about it too much.
