A title so sensationalistic, there’s no way it could be true, right? Well, there’s only one way to find out.
This story happened quite a few years ago now, but with plenty of free time on my hands, and the memory distant enough to feel nostalgic for, I figured it was a good time to share. I wasn’t long out of high school, freshly 18, and after graduating, I handled the absence of routine and structure, the lack of everything I’d know since I was a child quite poorly; combine this with losing a vast majority of my friends for one reason or another, and I wasn’t in the best state of wellbeing. I’d pulled myself together however in preparation for starting University at the beginning of the year, with a ferocity and vigour that only youth can produce, and a reinvigorated sense of purpose and direction. High on confidence and self-belief, I set out on the first day of my tertiary education experience.
