Dear Juni:

Dump him. Now. Yes, he's cute and he makes your toes curl, but he's not nearly your intellectual equal and there are much better men out there. Stop playing "poor me" and take your parents' offer to send you AWAY to college, even if it's just to Columbus. Stay fairly sober, and finish at least 4 years. You don't think you can do it, but you can. You don't think it's important, but it is vital. Because, believe me, it will really be much harder to finish that B.A. at the age of 42.

On the other hand, if I had done that, I might not have met my hubby (not the one I should've dumped back then . . .), had my beautiful babies, and been where I am today. So maybe I wouldn't send it after all!
