Very cool, but please don't drop out of university. For the vast majority of students, this is a decision that will come back and bite you in the ass when whatever you quit Uni for comes to an end.



> this is a decision that will come back and bite you in the ass when whatever you quit Uni for comes to an end.

I know you're trying to help, but these kinds of absolute statements can really mess with people. I got pretty much the same speech when I decided to leave school more than a decade ago.

Logically, I still cannot figure out what they were talking about. I have never met anyone who cared about what school you went, how well you did there, or if you went at all. Irrationally, however, I wonder how many days I have left until it hits and all the regret sets in.

Anyway, don't let me stop you. I just wanted to point out that getting so involved in other people's lives, people you don't even know especially, can be quite damaging.


"* My school gives me the opportunity to postpone my studies for as long as I need to, so I actually don't need to drop out (my mom will sleep better)"

... plus the world might end this year
