Guys I'm having a good day. I won't go into details, but because of some general crazyness in my life I dropped out of high school when I was 18. For the past 2 years I've been going to evening school and today I graduated. I know a high school diploma doesn't mean much, but the first year we started with a group of 35. 20 of those dropped out and I'm one of 6 to get the diploma. That's what makes it so special (for me). I'm so proud because 4 years ago I was a f-up dope fiend and my life has just changed so much. I'll be going to uni next year to study germanistics.

congratulations!

Just out of curiosity what is gemanistics?

gymnastics for the dyslexic?

Zwar, congratulations. And don't ever think that "it's just a high school diploma". You set a goal for yourself, and you accomplished it. Knowledge is power, my friend. Best of luck in college.

Congrats dude!

Nice one!

wow great news man
I was also a high school stoner, now I have an MA
but be careful picking your major, while its good to pick something you are passionate about also think about how you can get a job!!!
I got an MA in what I wanted, but its been VVEEERRRYYYY hard to make a career out of it
anyways, good luck bro...keep it up!! Its easy to balance partying and getting good grades. I got a 4.0 the semester I partied the most. Just always set aside a few quiet hours for study, the rest of the time you can go balistic!! Man, I envy you; I wish I was going back to college!!! Have a great time and score all the chicks you can!!!

Just out of curiosity what is ge[r]manistics?


The study of Germans maybe?

Anyway, good for you, and congratulations!

its nice to overcome something like that..

i was a junkie from the age of 17 till 27...pot, acid, X, coke, LSD, you name it...the worst were the f*$king pain pills... at the end of the burn i had lost my friends and my girl of 5 years...luckily i managed to keep my job as a stock trader (thats where the coke came in handy)

almost a year sober from all that shit... i get depressed about my hair still, but i am happy to be off the junk!!

congrats on the diploma and good luck at college!!

Well maybe it's not a common word, but I looked it up in the dictionary (geRmanistics it is btw). GeRmanistics is the study of germanic languages (English, Dutch and German).
