11. Gap year

I had a particularly rough semester and got D in a class that I had previously dropped after about a week the prior semester because my schedule was too busy then. Department rules say that you can’t attempt a class for credit more than twice (including drops) so I got kicked out of my major. I was 14 hours away from graduation at the time. The academic advisor said that I could either change my major, so basically start college all over, or fuck off for a year and then come back on probation. So I guess I’m not expelled per se but I’m taking an involuntary gap year.

12. Legend/Hero/Role Model

I shot a firework out of my ass in a campus owned house.

13. No Direction

I went to college right after high school and didn’t really have direction as to what I wanted to pursue for a career. I signed up for classes and went because I was told “you are suppose to go to college and get a degree.”
I started to not care about school about 3-4 semesters in and stopped putting forth effort. I decided I would rather work my job, drink with friends, and play my favorite video games. My grades tanked, and then I stopped going to finals and failed many courses. My university finally gave me a warning and then dismissed me.

I spent a semester off before applying to the local community college down the road to pursue a career as an EMT. I found a passion for medicine and a desire to achieve something more that drugs, video games, and a dead end job.
I repaired my GPA by getting an Associate’s Degree in Arts (General AA) and then went back to the university that dismissed me. I eventually would graduate with a Bachelor’s degree in Biochemistry and go on to medical school afterwards where I would finish that chapter and start my residency training in Family Medicine. I’m almost done with intern year.
