High school and college were some uneventful years, and halfway between the two, the pathway got pretty dark. After high school, I stopped working at retail and got kicked out of Langara due to low grades and had no idea what was next.
Around 17-20, I had/was
- No future or career, 67% average in grade 12
- Skinny Fat then obese
- Broke
- No education
- No Job
- Relatively low quality social circle
- No hobbies
- No dreams or aspirations
- Banned from RS for making a retarded post
Funny enough, my RS "homepage" is bookmarked to this post #9972 and #9966 from 2014. I read so many emo posts from all of y'all that I LARPED myself into an emo/heartbroken state and somehow it kicked me into overdrive to change my life from a NEET.

From deadbeat high school to 10 years after, managed to
- Re-enroll into the last college who'd accept me, BCIT
- Started working again while in school
- Travelled outside of Canada for the first time for 3.5 months
- Land first career job in 3rd year / finish CFA level I
- Got a small scholarship for getting good grades
- Buy the dream S2000
- Pay off school
- Sack enough money for a DP on a old place from living at home
- Move out by 25
- Finish CPA
- 4X my starting income
- Multiple hobbies that make me feel like I have a 3rd and 4th place
- Supportive and diverse social circle where I feel like I'm part of a community
- Went from 35% body fat down to 13%, gained 30-40 lbs of muscle and probably gained 4-7 inches of height from all those protein shakes
If I peaked in highschool, I would've never made it here lol.
