I'm at a point in my life where I've looked back to my golden years and realized I've done nothing with them. After high school, I went to a private college and flunked out in one semester, then I got a shitty retail job and proceeded to smoke pot, play vidya and whack off for four years. I've sobered up recently and now these pangs of regret are stabbing into me. I want to go back to college. I want to hold onto some fucking money, for once. I want to get into shape, physically and fiscally, so I can be comfortable enough in my own skin to get out there and meet someone. I'm tired of being the only person on my social feed that's single and going nowhere and knowing that my dad, who worked his ass off as a single father raising two kids, is disappointed in me, maybe even thinking he failed as a parent. That's what kills me the most. He's a great dad, I'm just a shitty son.
tl;dr, I think I'm gonna join the Army. Active or Guard, haven't decided which. Studying for the ASVAB now, last time I took it was back in high school and I scored an 88 iirc. A 90 will qualify me for engineering, which is what I want to go to college for. I'm nervous, I don't relish the thought of sacrificing my civil liberties and possibly my life for a Commander-in-Chief I know I'll despise, or a group of old men that couldn't give a shit less about me. I don't like the idea of being broken and re-molded, but shit, there's not a lot of me to break at this juncture. I gotta do it. I gotta do something, before it's too late.
