Well, due to a combination of health issues, and a near complete mental breakdown from stress, and a few other factors I took a year off from school, had what amounts to a mid life crisis, and now I'm back in school with the understanding that democracy doesn't rule the US, my college degree is an inherently worthless piece of paper in a market over-saturated by worthless pieces of paper, and the knowledge that I must make my own destiny, screw everyone and everything else. Also I may be a secular Buddhist now, still working on that part.
