How I did it: I spent eight years in college trying to "make it" in academia. I had a neat little plan laid out for the whole rest of my life - a preprogrammed career. I picked it out because I thought that was what smart people were supposed to do, and because I was scared of the "real world".

The day I dropped out of grad school was the day I realized that I can do anything. For the first time, I have total freedom to make my own life. There is so much I want to do.
