[quote=Anonymous]I was smart, always in AP and Gifted classes, but I was really into drugs (not an addict, but certainly did a lot more than just pot) and smoked cigs until I got pregnant with my first child.  I was also very social so I had a pretty big circle. I got arrested twice for posession.

I never finished college.

I've been met my wonderful husband 13 years ago and I have two kids. I bought my fist home when I was 22years old, which was the best move I could have made and has sent me up for a lifetime of low housing costs (HUGE in this area).  My current life?

-I run marathons 
-I can hardly drink anymore, causes bad hangovers, so I stay away. My preferred drink is a Kale Smoothie.
-I'm still very social and feel blessed to have some amazing friends.
-I am a landlord
-I'm on the PTA
-I make approx 160k/yr

Of my circle of druggie friends from highschool I still keep in touch with:

-one is a full blown prescription drug addict
-one is a famous Choreographer in NYC
-one is single and travels the world on her trust fund
-one moved to Costa Rica and opened a hotel and lives a dream life.

I would not trade my crazy days for an opportunity at Harvard.  Because I picked a path less traveled, I think it has made me very resourceful and creative.[/quote]
