Hi, its you in 6 years...i just wanted to let you know that its not as bad as you think. You do end up finishing college, obviously it takes way longer than it should, but whatever...you got it done. You come to find out that nobody really gives a shit about your grades, or the fact that you have a degree at all. In fact, people with no education at all will go out of their way to tell you how little you know.

You're gonna begin to get a little more jaded when you see people not taking you as seriously as you would wish because of your lack of a work history. Then you come to a slow realization that your going to have to start at the ground floor no matter what job you take, so you go for the money and tie off a portion of your pride in the process. You wallow in your shitty job and its total unimportance to the rest of humanity, but fuck it, your getting by.

Then comes the good part, you actually start to feel good about yourself..you know why? Because all this time in the work force has afforded you the opportunity to meet plenty of people from every station in life. You realize that you are, for the most part, surrounded by complete and utter lunatics. Sure they come in every flavor; megalomaniacs, compulsive liars, thieves and everyday jackoffs. Every day is a comical gift of "what will come out of peoples mouth next"?

The feeling of having your head screwed on semi-straight is palpable and rewarding. Sounds like you got the right idea, just don't get too convinced that "fuck-up" is a permanent label.
