Why didn't you want to be in college early? The little fragments of the rest of your story indicate that you may have enjoyed meeting a self-selecting and (presumably) more mature group of peers for a fresh social start. Did your social life recover in high school?
- mabbo 3y agoA few reasons. First and foremost: I had lost all will to work hard at all. Between mental health struggles and video game addiction as a means to cope with it, I just wasn't mentally up to the effort needed. I put in the bare minimum and got by because I was clever. The second reason was that if I had graduated on time, it was a bad year to do it. The province was phasing out 'grade 13', called OAC[0], which had existed for decades as an optional pre-university year for students in high school. It was the last year it existed, so there would be almost twice as many students vying for places in post-secondary schools. Why compete when I could be lazy and have an easier time?
