i remember being very in college. Like everyone, i hope everyone, seems like some sort of foundational a education happens through drinking but i remember the feeling of not having a safety nut. And that feeling intensified when i got to new york. But i was at kenyon, which is an incredible school. I had to work full time. The consequences of my actions were only going to land on me. It wasn't going to hurt my parents. It wasn’t going to get me attention. It was just going to hurt. That sense of operating without a safety net has always stayed with me, that i need to work harder,. There will be nothing there to catch me
