Hmm, somehow I managed to have a computer habit AND friends. Also some drugs, some drinking, etc. Of course, my grades weren't stellar in high school; something has to give.



I think that on a vast cosmetic scale, high school grades mean the least of nearly everything. Unless you run across a snobby Ivy kid - and most Ivy kids I know tend not to care about your school so much as your mind - they change nothing.


It's true. I dropped out of high school to join the gamedev industry, and the company didn't seem to mind.


I'm in college right now (freshman), and every instinct in me is telling me to figure out how to get out and DO something. It's tough, because I love the college atmosphere. I just am tired of being in classes, doing really basic stuff, when I have ideas that could change things.

Has anybody else had that sort of dilemma in their life?
