Long story that I will try to keep short. I'm 23 now, and it's been a ride.

I was always the under achiever in high school, I made low A's and B's and a couple of C's because I literally didn't give a shit about school. I got a scholarship to my local community college and got my associates degree in general studies there and then transferred to a 4 year liberal arts school a few miles up the road, where the "under achieving thickgranny" met his match. I failed my first class ever, and had no direction as far as school went, but I did finish a nursing class with a solid grade but I wasn't happy commuting an hour and a half away so I transferred out to a state university only 40 minutes away and decided to take computer science which I was horrendously bad at and withdrew after a month. Here comes the struggle..

I held a fast food job, I had worked at since high school, this job would control my life for roughly 2 and a half years. I worked almost every day 6 in the morning until 4 at night, it was miserable being there thinking "you've really fucked up, you're going to be here forever" and man at times it sure felt that way. Around September of 2015, I got lucky and met the girl of my dreams somehow while working the drive thru window of that job. She has really helped me realize my potential. Long story short, I ended up back in college in the fall of 2016 and declared a major, I'll finish in the fall of 2018 and have an internship already locked up for the spring of 2019. Oh, and I made it out of the fast food job and bought a new car.

Never give up guys, no matter how hard it may get.
