Stories? It was hardly a novel or some sort of script, just entropy in human terms.

How did you leave them? Was it with their blessing or are you essentially dead in their hearts now?

Tried college for about 4 months before the boredom overcame me. I didn't need to spend six weeks learning MS Word, and they refused to let me just take the finals up front, so I played StarCraft every day in class until I decided to quit wasting my time and get a job. Now I'm making money, for being bored.

i left without any forewarning or notice
i remembered i carried a small black backpack with small towelettes, plastic baggies, and small essentials for water storage so i won't ruin my health while homeless

wrote them a letter behind a gum wrapper consisting of 2 sentences, i think, or one.
basically, 'i'm leaving because i can't grow here. thanks for everything you've done so far, bye.'

a letter, since i couldn't bear being talked down upon and being manipulated by guilt
plus it was the easiest and happiest option for me
i knew if i've met them face-to-face, they'd ask me questions i don't know the answers to, force safety funds or phone numbers onto me or make me feel very sad

i visited them for three days for thanksgiving, and with my new experiences i can find more depth in them
made me more appreciative of mommy and daddy
and made me more actualized that i have to re-connect with daddy because he's the keeper of my raw creativity

What kind of college requires you to take such a terrible course about MS Word?

I may dislike some of the courses I'm required to take (Composition, Literature, Civilization), but everything else seems fairly interesting

i enrolled at the university of minnesota but only went to 2 classes (a psychology lecture and a creative writing workshop) before deciding to leave.

then I tried going to Loyola Marymount in LA but didn't even go any classes

now I make $5,000/mo with the web platforms I've developed, and I sit around at home all day smoking pot and reading.

i went and did Movie Classes and filmed a couple of things and it was really fun and then i realized i am paying lots of money for this and switched to business and then dropped out a semester later. dont regret going though.

It was an intro to computers course. They told me it was a pre-requisite that I had to take.
