The day I walked out of my organic chemistry final and never went back

It was a Tuesday in October, pouring rain, and I was sitting in the third row of a huge lecture hall at Ohio State. I stared at the test for 20 minutes and realized I didn't care about any of it, not the molecules or the grade, just the feeling of being trapped there. I stood up, handed in a blank exam, and walked out into the parking lot. Something about the rain hitting my face made me feel lighter than I had all semester. Has anyone else had that moment where a bad day turned into a good decision?

I used to think quitting meant weakness but this makes me see it different now.

Dropped premed after a similar rain soaked walkout, best thing I ever did.
