I am a 26 year old financially broke male that been in college for 7 to 8 years. My student loans is basically past the salary of a minimum wage worker. Never dated nor had a girlfriend. Never had a car nor went out with a group of friends. I am basically that guy that everyone considers....well.... a loser. And that is....ok. It is not that I had no goals in life, perhaps I was to ambitious. As a young naïve male, I "expected" that life is suppose to happen" how I said it and when I said." I basically eliminated the non-controlling variable that plays throughout everyone life. I did not considered returning home from school due to finance. I did not considered changing my major after failing calculus more than three times. It was basically a domino effect. The most troubling was my grandparents. After returning from school, my grandparents became extremely ill. The previous year, my grandpa was diagnostic with lung cancer. This took a physical toll on my grandma.(this is another story for another time). Basically, my sister and I would spend at least 8 hours a day staying with my grandma and grandpa. I have no regrets; however, this forced me to drop my classes that eventually lead to a year off in college. Now, the year is 2016. I am tired, angry, sad, and want a change out of life. Although a common cliché, I realize the shortness of life. I want more than just a typically nine to five cubicle job.(Please stay tone for the next article)
