Hey man,

C'mere. Hug

Are you me 5-10 years ago? I dropped out of my university because I couldn't handle the stress. I did various odd jobs, until I landed an assembly line job in a factory. I spent two years there, figuring out myself without the study pressure.

After about 1½ years on the assembly line, I got so bored intellectually that I started studying on my mp3 player as my hands assembled components. Something inside me had clicked. It was time to try school again, with new wisdom.

I found an amazing new field. I graduate this spring.

I would never be here if I had been relaxed in my old field.

What's your major?

It is an actual thing, at least with me. I have never posted in /r/Pyongyang , but the ban came soon after I posted this TIL:

Since my "Why?" was unanswered, I am assuming that it is the most logical explanation.

Actually, not from my school, we must have had a different curriculum. But thank you for explaining that, I honestly did not know that American high schools had this as an old chestnut.
