High school was pretty blah. The 3 years directly after high school were probably the best time of my life. I moved away from home, met a lot of new people. It's the best thing I ever did, actually. I can't imagine what my life would have been if I hadn't taken that plunge.

I had no idea what I was getting into. I was only 19. I didn't realize that it was going to be a life changing experience. But I was only a few months into it when I knew that it was.
