I returned to school in 2015 with a new determination to explore possibilities in my life that I had never considered – and also wariness from experiences past. The first time around was scary for me, a homebody bookworm who just wanted to find a career where she could be creative and make money from it. I was also convinced that this was the perfect opportunity to explore things I wasn’t allowed to in high school, like music (and it was!). My experimenting did catch me a career in design, which I loved – but it also ended in some mistakes and failures. It turns out I wasn’t a musician, and it turned out that I had no idea what time management was. My acceptable grades suffered, and I was left with two Fs and an NC.
