I Dropped out of College and This Happened

Man is college a dicy term right now. Some career paths really really need it, like, if you want to surgically work on me, please have a good degree, I do not want to hear “hey siri how do I….) as I fall asleep on the operating table.

However, the narrative that we must have a degree in order to reel in any self worth or be hirable needs to change.

If you know me, you know I was NOT BUILT FOR SCHOOL, and if you don’t know me, now you know that. I just wasn’t, and I spent a great deal of time thinking I was dumb.

Anyways, long story short, my college life was NOT thriving and it was evident to everyone around me that this was not the path for Annalisa.

Within a couple months, I was driven toward a new dream and the world seemed to open up. I am not afraid of change at all, I love it. If I could wake up every day with a different colored hair I WOULD.

Leaving college and trying life out on my own made me really good at one thing. I am so violently unafraid to fail.

“I am so Violently Unafraid to Fail”

We all want security and that is a lot of the philosophy behind the push for college, but I am not one to count down years to retirement so I can sit on a beach.

I am so unafraid of failure and when you are able to stare down your own doubts it makes you capable of anything!

I want to LIVE and grow and travel and create and all of those sound like downtime activities, but instead of saving them for Sunday afternoon, I made it my business.

My new #1 goal that I strive for everyday is to monetize the things I love in order to fruitfully live from the life I decided to create.

This isn’t for everyone, just like college, but when I accepted the fact that every instinctual move I have made since I was 12 pointed me towards a life of entrepreneurial endeavors, the world opened up.

Thank you for reading just another one of my late night brain dumps.
