Honestly, I gave college my all.  I never gave a damn about anything so much.  And when I look at things realistically, that degree that I get doesn’t even come close to defining me.  It neither shows my true accomplishments, my strengths, nor the struggles.  So while college is an important element to life, it’s not everyone’s path.  You don’t need a degree to persevere.  What you need is passion, guts, and the will to fail in order to succeed.  That paper I walk away with can be burned, shredded to pieces, and my $ value on my paycheck will diminish.  Here’s the thing, everything in life is impermanent.  So here’s a reality check for you.  Live your life the way you know you’re meant to live.
