21m Lost my teen years to get here
At 16, I got my first job, and ever since, I've worked as much as I possibly could. In high school, I chose work over hanging out with friends on the weekends. Once I turned 18, I immediately started working full time. I decided to go to college online so I could continue to work just as much. I missed out on a lot of early college and high school experiences to work. I do regret it every now and then, especially when I look at social media and see all the stories of things I never got to do myself.
