I don't know how it played out. I ended up moving in with my aunt and uncle. They didn't make me move to Georgia with them. If I'm being honest, dude, they were probably just sick of me, my parents. They loved me, but they were probably really tired of me. I couldn't have managed me. So they let me move in with Aunt Sandy and Uncle Danny. And so that was my junior year.

The summer between junior and senior year, I went and spent in Georgia at my parents' and then went back. And somehow, at the end of that summer, my mom and my aunt got into a pissing match about something. I think maybe it was about my girlfriend. And the end result was I got my own apartment for my senior year. I don't know. I didn't question it, right?

But I actually did everything I was supposed to do. I would have graduated with honors. And I mean, I guess on paper I did, but I didn't get to walk at graduation because the month before I ended up, I got caught with how I call it school. But, you know, I graduated with honors. I got a scholarship to Auburn, math scholarship. And I had no desire to get a math degree.

Getting drunk as shit every day. I got so bad, I was, this was back in, you know, 2000. And if you go get apple juice at the store, they weren't plastic bottles, they were still glass bottles.

And so my mom or my aunt one was like, well, he needs to go meet with the students with disabilities or whatever because I was diagnosed bipolar and I'm still being medicated for it. So I did that and they basically greenlit me to misbehave all I fucking wanted. And they have to make reasonable accommodations for me. It was a disaster.
