School and parents
Still haven't done it. I was supposed to have got my diploma three years ago like a good little girl. Work's more fun though. When I was still in school, I put off doing homework - not just putting it off until the last minute - I put it off beyond the last minute. In fact I don't think I submitted a single assignment for the entire last year I was there. Just couldn't be arsed and I was miserable at the time.

When I abruptly and in a fit of pique filled out and submitted the leave of absence forms, I was supposed to have emailed my professors. Never got around to that either. I actually feel bad about this one, as some were decent and nice.

My parents may or may not have put off getting a divorce, claiming they didn't want to ruin my youth. Well, far be it from me to decide, but I've only spent the last several years attempting to bridge the gap between them, helping them with the actual divorce (which is a mess, as neither of them seem to know how to manage much at all) and being excessively paranoid about my own failures, education and lack thereof, and other people. I wouldn't like to blame everything on them, but parents do have a small hand in the mindset and upbringing of their children, don't they?

Looking back, I think this just makes me sound like a spoiled ingrate, but it was cathartic.
