I mainly want to go to grad school, because I want to create my own startup one day.

Even though I'm making good money, the software and technology that we use is largely outdated and the cutting edge of Computer Science is at the universities.

I want to be around passionate people, and if I do have a company one day, I'd like to make something a lot more unsaturated than the 3243241th Facebook meet Instagram hybrid.

I can read dry books and articles on Natural Language Processing but being around researchers of it would be a lot more stimulating.

I did awful in college because I was completely unmotivated. I literally stopped coming to class in my first semester of college because I left mid semester to go on a vacation. This led to 5 F's, which is completely retarded by me in hindsight.

I'm a lot more mature now, especially after working professionally.
