The title is misleading because I've never skipped a day of school my entire life, and despise those who are regulars at it. But it just caught the gist of my article

Cool! My best friend is in the Peace Corp in Guatemala right now.
I thought about it as well, but I couldn't make such a long commitment to stay in one place. I bounce around a lot. Though once I have my masters I think I will go to Asia and teach English somewhere (South Korea maybe?) for a year.
I know being so far from family is going to drive me nuts. But its one of those things that you can look back on your whole life and be proud of. But SK seems like a lot of fun. I have a friend in college whose from there, and hes like "everything is legal there. You can do whatever" hahaha. Have fun though.
I had to fight so many demons when it came to school. I realized, I love learning but I hate the structure of school. (rules, grades, the fact that it's basically just memorization etc. etc.) In the end, I said 'fuck it' and decided I would only do something I loved. Started thinking about what I wanted, liked and what was best for me. That's how I started Film school.
I don't want to be boxed in, I never have wanted to and the thought of it makes me itch. Sometimes you gotta jump and just do it.
think of it this way - college is about a lot more than just grades & a degree. the life experiences available and social interaction really do prepare you for the "real world". there are opportunities available to you in college that you will rarely have a chance to experience again once you start working. live it up, soak up as much info as you can and try to experience as much as possible. it'll be over before you know!!!
already given up? I do well remember I was in a similar situation. My good memory helped me though school although I didn't care much. I studied what I wanted (after submissively following my parents advice first) and am pretty happy with what I'm doing now. But I've learned that it's better to lead your own life. The sooner the better. So if you know what you want my advice would be: do it!
